What are narrow divides between two cirques called?
Arêtes
What are two faces that intersect called?
The place where two faces (planes) intersect is called an edge.
The point where the altitudes of the triangle intersect?
the point where the altitudes intersect is called the orthocenter.
What is the location called where two lines lines cross or intersect?
Two lines cross or intersect at a point.
What are two angles that intersect called?
A vertex.
Where do cirques intersect?
Cirques intersect at their highest point, where the walls of adjacent cirques meet to form a sharp ridge or crest called an arête. This intersection often occurs at a mountain peak or ridge line.
What are Three sided valleys called?
TRIANGLESthey are cirques
Glacial feature with its description?
Cirque: A bowl-shaped depression on the side of a mountain, formed by the erosive activity of a glacier. Cirques are typically characterized by steep walls and may contain a small lake called a tarn at their base.
Three-sided valleys are called?
Cirques
What are cirques?
Steep-sided, half-bowl shaped recesses carved into mountains at the heads of glacial valleys. The Fjords: Steep cliffs, acting as ocean inlets. Horn peaks: Where cirques intersect. Terminal moraines: Piles of rocks. Crevasses: Cracks in glaciers
How is glacial horn created?
Glaciers grind into mountains by eroding the cirques at their heads. If a mountain has cirques all around it, it is called a horn
What are narrow divides between two cirques called?
Arêtes
Glaciers erode the base of mountains into basins called cirques true or false?
True. Glaciers erode the base of mountains into basins called cirques through a process known as glacial erosion. This results in the formation of amphitheater-like depressions at the base of mountains.
Coplanar lines that do not intersect are called?
Coplanar lines that do not intersect are called parallel lines.
What are lines that do not intersect called?
Lines that never intersect are parallel.
If two lines in the same plane and do not intersect they are called?
Coplanar lines that do not intersect are parallel. Non-coplanar lines that do not intersect are called skew lines.
Match the glacial feature with its description?
Fjords: Steep ocean inlets Drumlins: Smooth hills Cirques: Armchair-shaped valleys Moraines: Piles of rocks :D
