What type of landform is an arete?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Sharp ridge formed by glacial erosion
An arete is a narrow, sharp-crested ridge produced by glacial erosion, usually between two cirques or adjacent glacial valleys. As moving ice removes rock from both sides, the intervening ridge becomes steep and knife-edged. Therefore, option B is correct. A sand bar and dune are depositional forms, while a floodplain is built mainly by river deposition, so they do not describe an arete.
