Glacial cirques are bowl-shaped depressions formed by the erosive action of glaciers, typically found in mountainous regions. They are significant features in understanding past glacial activity ...

Glaciers are large masses of frozen ice that move slowly downhill. As glaciers move, they wear away the surrounding land through erosion. Glaciers sometimes transport material over long distances ...
