← GeographyWhich hillside outcome primarily occurs when freeze-thaw exceeds drainage?
A)Increased downslope soil creep rate✓
B)Accelerated chemical weathering of bedrock
C)Reduced soil carbon sequestration capacity
D)Plant community succession acceleration
💡 Explanation
Increased downslope soil creep results from solifluction because the active layer thaws and saturated soil flows over the permafrost, therefore creep accelerates rather than chemical weathering changes or alterations in ecological successions.
