Question

In the given image ‘A’ is________.

  1. Cirques
  2. Horn
  3. Sculpture
  4. Moraine

hintHint:

Another name is U-shaped valley.

The correct answer is: Cirques


    The correct answer is a) Glacial trough.
    Glacial troughs are also called U-shaped valley. As the glacier moves downhill, the V-shaped valley turns into a U-shaped valley, or glacial valley. Ice has great power of erosion and removes all obstacles like tangled spores. Rivers act mainly on the valley floor, thus forming V-shaped valleys, but glaciers fill the valleys, creating steep sides and wide bottoms.
