A sharp pyramid-shaped mountain peak, formed when several cirques surround a single high mountain, is called a pyramidal peak.

A pyramidal peak, (also called glacial horn) is a sharply, pointed, pyramid-shaped mountain peak which results from the cirque (bowl-shaped basins) erosion caused by many glaciers that are carved away from a central point. The pyramidal peak has a feature of a sharp-edged summit, and steep sloping sides. Examples of pyramidal peak include; Mount Aspiring in New Zealand, Pilot Peak in Wyoming, United States and Nevado Las Agujas in Los Ríos, Chile.

Even though chestnuts can regrow from their roots, this does not usually happen because
Olenka [21]

Answer: New growth is stricken with the blight before it has the chance to mature.

Explanation:

American Chestnut trees can indeed regrow from their roots but due to the devastating effect of the chestnut blight, they have been unable to do this since the blight spread across the country.

The blight was introduced when Chinese chestnut trees were imported into the U.S. in the 20th century. It killed off most of the chestnut trees in the U.S. and attacks the tree again when it grows to around 6 meters bringing it down to its roots. This is why the American Chestnut is considered endangered.
