A pyramidal peak geograpghy
This is a sharp rock pinnacle which is steep sided surrounded by a system of radiating arêtes.
- It is formed from glacial erosion where cirques are first formed and the back wall recession of two or more cirques developing into the mountain head creates a sharp rock pinnacle protruding above the ice through a system of radiating arêtes.
- Since pyramidal peaks develop from radiating arêtes, which in tum develop from cirques then processes of plucking and abrasion are important in their
- Examples include margherita peak on mountain
