Urban to Suburban
(Human Geography, The Cultural Landscape, Chapter 3)
The landform that is formed when horizontal rock layers are squeezed together and buckle is called : folded mountains
We could see many of these at the Himalayan Region, It's caused by the folding of the earth's crust

<span>Answer:
Valley glaciers form cirques, arrettes and U-shaped valleys in mountainous areas cold enough to support glaciers. U shaped valleys: they are the path of an alpine glacier. Glaciers carve out valleys with steep sides and flattish bottoms
Cirques. A hollowed out basin where a glacier begins to form
Arrrete: A ridge formed by cirques on either side of a rock mass
Horn: a mountain with cirques on three or more sides. It looks kinda like a pyramid. The matterhorn in Switzerland is a great example
morraine: A hilly ridge of material deposited by the glacier marking how far it advanced. A terminal morraine is the maximum advance of a glacier, a recessional morraine marks the advance of a glacier, but not the maximum advance. A lateral morraine is a morraine deposited on the side of a glacier.
Erratic. A rock picked up and carried by a glacier and deposited elsewhere
tarn: a lake that forms in a cirque
fjord: A U shaped valley that is flooded by ocean water</span>
