cirques
A landform is naturally formed feature on earth's surface.
Cirques are formed because of influences from both erosion and glaciers. It forms mainly on covered hills which do not see a lot of sunlight, which allows snow to fill up the area. This snow will freeze and melt inside the surface, creating a tearing effect, creating a cupped section in the earth.
Glaciers formed in mountains are called mountain glaciers or alpine glaciers. They are found in high-altitude regions and flow downhill through valleys.
Yosemite Valley is a California geologic feature that formed as a result of erosion by glaciers. The glaciers carved out the U-shaped valley, leaving behind steep granite walls and beautiful waterfalls. Other examples include the glacially-carved cirques and hanging valleys in the Sierra Nevada mountain range.

A cirque is a glacial landform that resembles an armchair. It is a bowl-shaped hollow with steep sides formed at the head of a glacier where ice erosion and plucking have occurred.
Armchair-shaped valleys are U-shaped valleys that have a distinctive shape resembling an armchair. They are formed by glaciers eroding the landscape, creating steep side walls and a broad, flat bottom. These valleys are often found in mountainous regions where glaciers once existed.

Desert landscapes are not typically formed by glaciers. Deserts are characterized by arid conditions with little to no precipitation, while glaciers are massive bodies of ice that reshape landscapes through erosional processes like scouring and deposition.
The surface feature formed when two plates meet is known as a fault. In some cases mountains can also be formed when two plates collide.
Armchair-shaped valleys are also known as U-shaped valleys. These valleys are typically wider and have steep, straight sides with a flat bottom. They are formed by glaciers as they move through a landscape, carving out the valley into its distinctive shape.
Continental glaciers are thicker and larger. Valley glaciers are formed on mountains; continental glaciers are formed on flat land.
