How are hanging vallies formed?

Hanging valleys are formed when smaller glaciers flowing from tributary valleys join a larger glacier in a main valley. As the larger glacier is more powerful, it erodes the main valley deeper than the tributary valleys. This results in the tributary valleys being left at higher elevations once the glaciers retreat, creating the characteristic "hanging" appearance.
