Hanging Valleys

Explanation:

  • Since the magnitude of the glacial erosion depends upon the thickness of the ice,main glaciers cut their valleys deeper than those of their tributaries.
  • As a result,at the junction where a tributary joins the main glacier, the floors of their valleys do not meet at the same level.
  • Such valleys are called Hanging Valleys.
  • When the glaciers dissapear, the hanging valleys are occupied by streams which discharge into the main valley forming waterfalls.
  • Where a glacier terminate on land, the streams of melt- water flowing on and under the glacier meet downstream to form a single river.
  • The glaciers that end at the sea coast, they  discharge huge cliffs of ice into the sea.
  • Because ice is less dense than water,it floats.
  • Such floating ice hills are called icebergs.
