Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hanging valleys and truncated spurs are both features associated with glacial valleys. A hanging valley occurs when a smaller glacier flows into a larger valley, leaving the smaller valley 'hanging' above the main valley floor. A truncated spur is a ridge that has been cut off or truncated by the advancing glacier. Both of these features are directly related to the sculpting action of valley glaciers.
