The correct answer is option 2: Jhelum Valley.
Glacial terraces, referred to as `Karewas,` are found in the Jhelum Valley in India. Karewas are unique landforms that are composed of layers of sediment, including clay, silt, sand, and gravel, which were deposited by glaciers during the Pleistocene ice age. These sediment deposits form terraces of varying elevations along the valley.
It is important to note that while the Jhelum Valley is known for its Karewas, other regions in India may also have similar landforms. However, the Jhelum Valley is specifically recognized for its extensive and well-preserved Karewas.
Alert - correct answer should be option 2: Jhelum Valley.
