Which hillslope outcome develops, increasing glacial debris transport, when permafrost's active top layer experiences seasonal thaw?

💡 Explanation

Solifluction causes lobe advance because the thawed active layer loses shear strength, deforming downslope due to gravity; therefore, debris lobes advance, rather than sublimation, as water saturation drives the mass wasting process.
