Which outcome results when freeze-thaw weathering weakens rocks?

💡 Explanation

Increased sediment transport occurs because freeze-thaw weathering increases fracturing and produces smaller rock fragments; therefore sediment can be entrained more easily for transport, rather than remaining as larger, more stable rock outcrops.
