- Glacial erosion produces very unique landforms: U-shaped valleys : glaciers modify a V-shaped valley to U-shaped cirques : head of glacier is enlarged by plucking and grows headward toward the mountain crest hanging valleys : where tributary glaciers meet the main valley glacier horns : where 2 or more cirques meet at the crest of a mountain outwash plains : where the great volume of water melting from a glacier is released.
