The narrow gap formed between a glacier and a mountain wall is water gaps.
- Gap is a low area between mountains or high elevated landmasses that is rugged and similar to passes.
- Water gaps are formed by rivers and glaciers and are created by the tectonic activity.
- The tectonic uplift that occurred over million of years, resulted in the elevation of stream bed or stream channel and the stream weathered the rocks surrounding it.
- The best example of water gap is Chicago Portage.
