← GeographyWhich outcome intensifies once a glacier forms a cirque?
A)Frost wedging action✓
B)Isostatic rebound rate
C)Terminal moraine deposition
D)Esker sediment sorting
💡 Explanation
Increased frost wedging action occurs because cirque formation creates steep rock walls exposed to freeze-thaw cycles; therefore, this erosional process intensifies within the cirque, rather than the landscape rebounding isostatically after glacial retreat.
