Which increased outcome is caused along artic slopes due to repeated freeze-thaw cycles acting together?

A)Accelerated solifluction lobe formation
B)Increased eolian sediment deposition
C)Decreased snow accumulation rates
D)Reduced glacial meltwater discharge

💡 Explanation

When sediment experiences freeze-thaw cycles, soil structure degradation and pore water pressure increase, causes surface soil to become saturated and undergo slow downslope flow known as solifluction. Therefore accelerated lobe formation results, rather than sediment deposition, snow decrease, or meltwater rate which require differing climatic process characteristics.
