What is a smaller valley joining a main glacial valley at a higher level called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Hanging valley
A hanging valley is a tributary valley whose floor lies above the floor of the main glacial valley. The main glacier usually has greater thickness and erosive power, so it cuts more deeply than the smaller tributary glacier. The height difference may produce a waterfall, making option A correct. A delta and floodplain are river depositional features, while a yardang is wind-eroded.
