Hanging valleys and truncated spurs are both features associated with glacial valleys. A hanging valley forms when a smaller glacier flows into a larger one, leaving the valley of the smaller glacier hanging above the main valley after the ice melts. Truncated spurs are formed when glaciers carve through an area, truncating the spurs or ridges that originally extended across the valley, creating steep cliff-like edges. Both of these features are directly related to the sculpting action of valley glaciers.
