Formed as a cirque is formed. The erosion from the action
of a large glacier will carve out a valley that is U-Shaped. This is as
a result of the total bottom of a glacier to carve the valley adverse
to the singular carving of a river valley which forms a v-shape. Note
the tallus deposition in glacial valley. Freezing and thawing of the slate/shale
causes it to break off in flat pieces and to deposit at the bottom of
the incline.
