Alpine Glacier produce a variety of erosional features. These features are usually rounded or polished grooves made by the glacier's passing. The features are called arete, Circque, horn, tarn, u shaped valley, and hanging valleys.
A sharp ridge separating cirques is known as a "horn" or "arete." It forms as glacial erosion carves out steep valleys on either side, leaving a narrow, rugged ridge between the two cirques. This topographical feature is often characterized by its jagged peaks and steep slopes, making it a prominent feature in alpine landscapes. Horns and aretes are common in mountainous areas where glaciers have significantly shaped the terrain.

Glacial erosion can create landforms such as cirques (bowl-shaped depressions), arêtes (sharp ridges), horns (peak), U-shaped valleys, and fjords (steep-sided inlets). These features are typically found in areas where glaciers have passed through and reshaped the landscape over time.
Glacial erosion produces U - shaped valleys.
Glaciers can form various landscape features, including U-shaped valleys, cirques, aretes, and moraines. These features are created as glaciers erode and deposit material as they flow over the land.
I know three: morains (a hill of dirt and rocks where the glacier stopped moving and then melted), carved valleys that are U-shaped vs. those valleys cut by a stream or river, rocks that are very smooth because of the ice and rocks they slid over.
A mountain is a sharpened peak formed by the glacial actions of three cirques on a mountaintop. Since we know that a cirque is a bowl-shaped basin formed by EROSION and a mountain horn is formed by three CIRQUES it becomes clear that mountain horns are formed by erosion.
Me encantan estos aretes = I love these earrings.
Alpine glaciers form when snow accumulates in a mountain valley and compacts over time into ice. The weight of the ice causes it to flow downhill, carving out the valley and creating a glacier. Cold temperatures and consistent snowfall are necessary to sustain an alpine glacier.
