← GeographyOn Arctic slopes, which consequence follows enhanced freeze-thaw weathering?
A)Increased downslope solifluction rates✓
B)Accelerated chemical denudation
C)Decreased soil carbon sequestration
D)Stabilized vegetation growth patterns
💡 Explanation
Increased freeze-thaw cycles weaken soil structure because ice lens formation causes soil particle displacement, leading to increased downslope solifluction rates; therefore, soil flows more easily, rather than experiencing stabilized vegetation or other weathering.
