Which outcome increases when glacial cirques experience increased temperatures?

💡 Explanation

Rock glacier destabilization accelerates due to thawing permafrost within the cirque, because the increased temperatures cause more meltwater to lubricate the rock/ice mixture, accelerating solifluction. Therefore destabilization increases, rather than deceleration because of the material properties at play.
