Which outcome results when headwall erosion accelerates in a cirque?

💡 Explanation

Enhanced horn formation occurs due to Freeze-thaw weathering rapidly eroding cirque headwalls on multiple sides of a mountain. Because the cirques enlarge and intersect, horn formation is enhanced, rather than merely forming glacial till.
