How is an arete formed?
An arête is a thin ridge of rock which is formed when two glaciers erode parallel U-shaped valleys. The arête is a thin ridge of rock that is left separating the two valleys Arêtes can also form when two glacial cirques erode head wards towards one another, although frequently this results in a saddle-shaped pass, called a col. The edge is then sharpened by freeze-thaw weathering. Where three or more cirques meet, a pyramidal peak is created. - (a famous example is the 'Matterhorn'). Form the above it must be clear that arêtes are landforms found in mountainous terrains that have been subject to glaciation. They are therefore very common in the Alps.

What is the different between the incisal ridge and incisal edge?
it might be good at this point to differentiate between the two term incisal ridge and incisal edge the incisal ridge is that portion of the crown which makes up the complete incisal portion. when and incisor is newly erupted , the incisal portion is rounded and merges with the mesioincisal and distoincisal angles and the labial and lingual surfaces. this ridge portion of the crown is called the incisal ridge. the term edge implies an angle formed bye the margin of two flat surfaces. therefore an incisal edge does not exist on an incisal until occlusal wear has created a flatten surface linguincisally, which surface forms an angle with a labial surface. the incisal edge is formed by the junction of the linguincisal surface, sometimes called the incisal surface, and the labial surface.
