Which consequence results when increased thaw depth activates cryoturbation?

A)Increased solifluction rates downslope✓

B)Glacial scouring intensity increases upstream

C)Esker sediment layers become homogenized

D)Permafrost table depth temporarily stabilizes

💡 Explanation

Increased thaw depth causes greater ground instability and saturation; therefore, the active layer undergoes more solifluction because thawing reduces soil strength and gravitational forces yield downslope movement, rather than allowing stabilization or affecting glacial dynamics
