This height difference is caused by the difference in erosion between the main valley and the hanging valley, with the main valley undergoing more erosion and thus having a lower elevation. Fjords are also formed by glacial erosion but are characterized by steep cliffs on either side and are typically submerged in water. "Flying valley" and "death valley" are not geological terms and do not describe a specific landform formed by glacial erosion.
