When does an arête form?
Arêtes can form in two ways. They can form when two glaciers erode parallel U-shaped valleys, or they can form when two glacial cirques erode headwards toward one another, although frequently this results in a saddle-shaped pass, called a col.

What glacial features results from deposition?
Moraines, drumlins, eskers, and outwash plains are glacial features that result from deposition. Moraines are ridges of till deposited along the edges of a glacier, drumlins are elongated hills of glacial till, eskers are long, winding ridges of sand and gravel, and outwash plains are flat areas of sand and gravel deposited by meltwater streams flowing away from the glacier.
How did plains form millions of years ago?
there are three reasons first the wind the rain the magma and the erosions
