Which downstream effect commonly follows increased solifluction rates?

💡 Explanation

Solifluction increases sediment transport because the active layer thaws and flows downslope; therefore increased sedimentation occurs in valley bottoms, rather than reduced stream flow or carbon sequestration which occur when the solifluction activity is decreased.
