उत्तर
- Hanging valleys are typically formed when the main valley has been widened and deepened by glacial erosion, leaving the side valley cut off abruptly from the main valley below.
- The steep drop from the hanging valley to the main valley floor usually creates cascading waterfalls – Eg. Yosemite falls, California, USA.
