Mountains with sharp peaks are often referred to as "pyramidal" or "horn" mountains. These formations typically result from glacial erosion, where glaciers carve out the sides of the mountain, creating steep, jagged profiles. An example of this type of mountain is the Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps. Such peaks are often visually striking and can present challenging climbing conditions.
