Which feedback magnifies cirque erosion under thawing permafrost?

A)Increased freeze-thaw and glacial plucking
B)Decreased slope debris deposition rate
C)Enhanced aeolian transport of fine sediment
D)Reduced albedo accelerating ice melt

💡 Explanation

Increased thawing causes more liquid water around the cirque's bergschrund, boosting the regelation process; because this accelerates freeze-thaw weathering and glacial plucking, creating a positive feedback, rather than inhibiting erosion through other means.
