A fjord forms when seawater fills what type of valley?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Deep U-shaped valley made by a glacier
A fjord is a long, narrow, deep inlet formed when the sea floods a glacial trough. Glaciers widen and deepen valleys into a characteristic U shape, often leaving steep sides and a deep floor. Later, post-glacial sea-level rise or sinking of the land allows seawater to enter the trough. A pothole, deflation hollow, and barchan are unrelated erosional or depositional features. Therefore, option C is correct.
