This is false,cirques are caused when erosion at the beginning of a glacier wears down the walls of mountain peaks.Over time,this process creates bowl-shaped basins called cirques.
Glaciers can carry both small particles and large boulders. The erosion caused by glaciers is caused by the rocks and debris carried along with the ice, NOT the ice itself.

Because, drainage basins are high elevated
they are called Corries or cirques!

Glaciers grind into mountains by eroding the cirques at their heads. If a mountain has cirques all around it, it is called a horn
Glaciers grind into mountains by eroding the cirques at their heads. If a mountain has cirques all around it, the glaciers may carve it into a tall, faceted remnant called a horn. This example in the Juneau Icefield of southeastern Alaska displays two cirques, and there must be one or two more on the back side. On the left side is an arête.

As glaciers move, they can carve out deep depressions in the land called cirques. When the glacier retreats or melts, these cirques can become filled with water, forming lakes. Glaciers can also create moraines, which are piles of debris that dam up valleys, creating lakes behind them.
Trans-pecos, meaning "across the river"
TRIANGLESthey are cirques
A large hole in the ground left from the melting of a huge chunk of glacial ice is called a kettle Also . . . Large bowl shaped depressions that occur at the head of mountain glaciers that result from a combination of frost wedging, glacial plucking, and abrasion are called cirques
