What is a pointed mountain peak formed by the backward erosion of several cirques called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Horn
A glacial horn is a sharp, pyramidal mountain peak formed when several cirques erode backward from different sides of the same mountain. As the cirques enlarge, the intervening ridges become narrower until a pointed summit remains. Hence option A is correct. A meander and levee are river features, while a beach is a coastal depositional feature.
