Where is a cirque most likely to form?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: At the head of a mountain slope by glacial erosion
A cirque, or corrie, is a steep-sided, bowl-shaped hollow formed at the head of a glacier. Snow accumulation, freeze-thaw weathering, plucking, and abrasion enlarge the hollow near the upper mountain slope. Option D is correct because it identifies both the location and the glacial process. River mouths, deserts, and flood plains do not provide the required setting.
