Ussually by three cirques A cirque is an origin point for glaciers in mountainous areas. It is a deep depression with three high walls and an open area from which the glacier moves forward, down the mountain side. Over time, as rock is eroded, these become wider and deeper. A mountain horn, such as the Matterhorn in the Alps forms when a peak is surrounded on two or more sides by cirques. As the cirques expand and rock is eroded the peak is honed into a point, forming a horn.
It is formed when two glaciers erode parallel from each other or when two glaciers erode towards each other
These are glaciers.
Answer: Cirques
Glaciers erode Earth's surface through abrasion, where the ice and sediments grind against the rock, wearing it down. They also erode through plucking, where the glacier freezes onto rock and plucks or pulls it away as the glacier moves.
Sharp pyramid-shaped peaks formed by alpine glaciers are called horn glaciers. Horn glaciers are created when three or more cirque glaciers erode a mountain from different sides, leaving behind a sharp-edged peak. Famous examples include the Matterhorn in the Alps.
A horn is a result of erosion. It is a sharp, pointed mountain peak formed when glaciers erode away multiple sides of a mountain.

Yes
It is formed when two glaciers erode parallel from each other or when two glaciers erode towards each other
Yes ... usually from heat.

by your mom. ok?
A mountain is a sharpened peak formed by the glacial actions of three cirques on a mountaintop. Since we know that a cirque is a bowl-shaped basin formed by EROSION and a mountain horn is formed by three CIRQUES it becomes clear that mountain horns are formed by erosion.
Yes, glaciers erode the base of mountains into basins called cirques through the process of glacial erosion. As a glacier moves down a mountainside, it plucks and abrasively scrapes the rock beneath, creating a bowl-shaped depression called a cirque. Over time, these cirques can deepen and widen, forming distinctive features in mountainous regions.
