∙ 10y agoA horn is a steep pyramidal mountain top that forms when, 1) snow accumulates on top of it, 2) the snow is compacted into ice by the weight of additional layers of snow on top of it, 3) gravity causes the slow downward movement of the ice, 4) plucking, grinding, weathering, and eroding the rock on the sides of the peak in multiple areas creating the typical horn shape.

How do glacier horn form on a mountain?
Ussually by three cirques A cirque is an origin point for glaciers in mountainous areas. It is a deep depression with three high walls and an open area from which the glacier moves forward, down the mountain side. Over time, as rock is eroded, these become wider and deeper. A mountain horn, such as the Matterhorn in the Alps forms when a peak is surrounded on two or more sides by cirques. As the cirques expand and rock is eroded the peak is honed into a point, forming a horn.
