Angular mountain peak with three or more arêtes found in glaciated areas; for example, the Matterhorn in Switzerland. It is formed when three or four corries (steep-sided hollows) are eroded, back-to-back, around the sides of a mountain, leaving an isolated peak in the middle.

The pyramid peak is commonly referred to as the "apex" or "summit." In the context of specific pyramids, such as the Great Pyramid of Giza, it is often simply called the "pyramid's peak." This term describes the highest point of the pyramid structure, which is typically where the capstone or a similar structure would be placed.
The number of peaks in a pyramid typically refers to the number of vertices at the top of its triangular faces. In a standard triangular pyramid (tetrahedron), there is one peak. For a square pyramid, there is also one peak at the apex. In general, a pyramid has one peak regardless of the shape of its base.

A sharp pyramid-shaped peak that forms on a mountain is known as a "pyramid peak" or "horn." These features are typically created by glacial erosion, where multiple glaciers carve away the surrounding rock, resulting in a steep, pointed summit. This distinctive shape is often found in mountainous regions that have experienced significant glacial activity. Famous examples include the Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps.

No, a square pyramid has a square as a base end the four edges end in the peak. The cube has 8 corners, the square pyramid has 5.

The geological process responsible for the formation of a pyramidal peak is glacial erosion. This occurs when glaciers carve away at the sides of a mountain, creating a sharp, pyramid-shaped peak.
A triangular based pyramid would have 4 corners; three for the triangular base and one for the peak. A pyramid has twice as many edges as sides in its base; thus a triangular pyramid has 2 × 3 = 6 edges. A triangular based pyramid is called a tetrahedron.
