What is a tributary valley eroded less deeply than the main glacial valley called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Hanging valley
A hanging valley is a tributary glacial valley whose floor lies above the floor of the deeper main valley. The smaller tributary glacier usually removes less material than the larger trunk glacier, leaving a raised junction; streams may descend from it as waterfalls. A delta, sea cave, and barchan are unrelated depositional or coastal features, so A is correct.
