Emergence definition
A steep, bowl-shaped depression on a mountainside formed by glacial erosion, often containing a small lake or glacier, where ice is the solidification of water at temperatures below 0°C (32°F), characterized by a crystalline structure, and is shaped by geological processes that act on the surface of the Earth to create a sunken place, and is the process where water, wind, or ice wear down rock material, shaping the Earth's surface over time.
