Correct Answer - Option 4 : Depositional activity of glacier makes hanging valleys

The correct answer is Depositional activity of glacier makes hanging valleys.

  • Glaciers are moving bodies of ice that can change entire landscapes.
  • They sculpt mountains, carve valleys, and move vast quantities of rock and sediment.
  • Large, isolated boulders deposited by retreating, melting glaciers.
    • Erratics are generally the largest rocks left behind by the retreating glaciers.
  • Glaciers carve a set of distinctive, steep-walled, flat-bottomed valleys.
    • U-shaped valleys, fjords, and hanging valleys are examples of the kinds of valleys glaciers can erode.
  • Cirques are bowl-shaped, amphitheater-like depressions that glaciers carve into mountains and valley sidewalls at high elevations.
