What is the sharp ridge left between two cirques called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Arete
An arete is a narrow, sharp-edged ridge produced when glaciers erode the mountain from two opposite sides, often between adjacent cirques or glacial valleys. This two-sided erosion leaves a knife-edge crest, so option A is correct. An oxbow lake is a cut-off river bend, loess is wind-blown silt, and a bar is a depositional ridge in water.
