Glaciated landscapes feature distinctive landforms created by glacial erosion and deposition. Some examples include corries, which are deep hollows with steep back walls that often form tarns after glacial retreat. Hanging valleys are smaller tributary valleys left at higher elevations after a main valley was deepened by glaciation. When three or more corries cut into a mountain, they can form a pyramidal peak or horn-like shape separated by narrow ridges called arêtes. U-shaped valleys have wide, flat floors and truncated spurs compared to the narrow, steep sides and winding course of pre-glacial V-shaped valleys.
