Which mass wasting outcome accelerates when permafrost degradation increases the active layer thickness?

💡 Explanation

Increased active layer thickness unloads soil, allowing saturated creep, therefore solifluction intensifies, because thawed sediment flows downhill due to gravity, rather than triggering glacial erratic deposits or rock weathering in place.
