Show transcript
Glaciers create wide U-shaped valleys through the process of erosion. Truncated spurs are formed when a glacier cuts off interlocking spurs. Corries are bowl-shaped hollows found on the side of hills and mountains. Aretes are sharp peaks formed by two glaciers wearing down either side of a mountain.
