- Cirques, also known as corries, are bowl-shaped depressions1234formed by glacial erosion. Here's how they form:
- Accumulated ice sheets move down a mountain, cutting the land to form these cirques1.
- Glaciers carve these depressions into mountains and valley sidewalls at high elevations2.
- As the ice melts and thaws, it progressively moves downhill, scouring out rock material and creating the characteristic bowl shape34.

They are frequently found on the heads of a glacial valley. Accumulated ice sheets when they move down a mountain, cut the land to form these cirques.byjus.com/free-ias-prep/cirque/Cirques are bowl-shaped, amphitheater-like depressions that glaciers carve into mountains and valley sidewalls at high elevations. Often, the glaciers flow up and over the lip of the cirque as gravity drives them downslope. Lakes (called tarns) often occupy these depressions once the glaciers retreat.www.nps.gov/articles/cirques.htmA cirque is formed by ice and denotes the head of a glacier. As the ice goes melts and thaws and progressively moves downhill more rock material is scoured out from the cirque creating the characteristic bowl shape.geology.wlu.edu/intro3d/cirque/cirque.htmlA cirque is a half-open amphitheater-like hallow found on the side of mountains or at the head of valleys. Cirques are products of glacial erosion. Cirques are formed when the glacial ice moves downhill along a mountain. During this movement downhill, the ice scours the rock material carving the bowl shape appearance.storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/5add3f013d3c4e0d9… - People also ask
