Which outcome occurs when 'regelation' inhibits ice flow within a cirque?

A)Crevasse formation reduces overall erosion
B)Abrasion increases at the cirque floor
C)Bergschrund development slows headwall erosion
D)Plucking decreases at the glacier base

💡 Explanation

Abrasion increases at the cirque floor because restricted ice flow concentrates the glacial weight and scouring action due to basal sliding; therefore, enhanced grinding sculpts the bedrock, rather than crevasse or bergschrund development affecting overall cirque erosion rates.
