Which outcome results when meltwater accumulates inside glacial cirques?

💡 Explanation

The formation of periglacial tarns occurs because meltwater accumulates and is trapped within the cirque basin through a process of meltwater ponding, which carves the landscape; therefore, a tarn forms, rather than landforms associated without meltwater, like moraines.
