Which outcome is accelerated if permafrost degradation weakens the bergschrund wall above a cirque?

💡 Explanation

Increased permafrost thaw leads to basal slip along the cirque floor driving rotational sliding because the bergschrund’s structural support fails. Therefore, this headwall erosion will increase rates, rather than decreasing accumulation or affecting isostatic rebound directly.
