Answer:
a steep-sided glacial valley
Step-by-step explanation:
A fjord is a long, narrow inlet with steep sides or cliffs, created by a glacier. It is a long, deep, narrow body of water that reaches far inland. Fjords are found mainly in Norway, Chile, New Zealand, Canada, Greenland, and Alaska. They are formed when a glacier cuts a U-shaped valley by ice segregation and abrasion of the surrounding bedrock. According to the standard model, glaciers formed in pre-glacial valleys with a gently sloping valley floor. The work of the glacier then left an over deepened U-shaped valley that ends abruptly at a valley or trough end. Such valleys are fjords when flooded by the ocean. Thresholds above sea level create freshwater lakes.
