Which consequence results when increased freeze-thaw weathering weakens sedimentary cliffs?

💡 Explanation

Increased freeze-thaw cycles cause physical weathering, reducing the rock's structural integrity. This increases slope instability and debris flow potential because increased water weakens bonds; therefore, landslide risk goes up, rather than albedo changes or bacteria count.
