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.
