Answer:
A cirque (French: [siʁk]; from the Latin word circus) is an amphitheatre-like valley formed by glacial erosion. Alternative names for this landform are corrie (from Scottish Gaelic coire, meaning a pot or cauldron) and cwm (Welsh for 'valley'; [kʊm]). A cirque may also be a similarly shaped landform arising from fluvial erosion.
