← GeographyWhich erosional outcome is accelerated when cryoturbation destabilizes a cirque headwall?
A)Enhanced bergschrund formation✓
B)Escher drainage network creation
C)Increased loess deposition
D)Accelerated ventifact development
💡 Explanation
Enhanced bergschrund formation proceeds as cryoturbation weakens the cirque, therefore weakened permafrost causes rockfalls into the trench, rather than altered features as it deepens because eschers involve meltwater streams.
