How do glacier horn form on a mountain?
Ussually by three cirques A cirque is an origin point for glaciers in mountainous areas. It is a deep depression with three high walls and an open area from which the glacier moves forward, down the mountain side. Over time, as rock is eroded, these become wider and deeper. A mountain horn, such as the Matterhorn in the Alps forms when a peak is surrounded on two or more sides by cirques. As the cirques expand and rock is eroded the peak is honed into a point, forming a horn.
