Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Roche moutonnées are rounded bedrock hills that are created by moving glaciers. They have a gradual slope on one side and a steep slope on the other side, which is caused by the glacier plucking and abrading the bedrock as it moves along. Arêtes are narrow ridges that form between two cirques, horns are pointed mountains formed by several glaciers eroding a single peak, cirques are bowl-shaped depressions on the side of mountains formed by glacial erosion, and tarns are small mountain lakes that form in cirques.
