← GeographyWhich landscape change accelerates when bioturbation diminishes in tundra?
A)Permafrost thaw and ground subsidence✓
B)Cryoturbation and patterned ground formation
C)Glacial retreat and sea level rise
D)Soil horizon differentiation
💡 Explanation
Reduced bioturbation limits soil mixing, increasing temperature penetration that melts permafrost because less insulative soil exists; therefore, thawing and sinking accelerates, rather than cryoturbation which requires periodic freezing.
