In which landform is the difference in power between trunk and tributary glaciers clearly seen?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Hanging valley
A trunk glacier has greater volume and erosive power than a tributary glacier, so it cuts its valley more deeply. When the ice disappears, the tributary valley remains perched above the deeper main valley, often ending in a waterfall. This elevated tributary valley is a hanging valley. A barchan is wind-built, a lagoon is coastal, and a sinkhole is a karst feature.
