Which pattern emerges when repeated freezing occurs due to substantial bioturbation?

💡 Explanation

Cryoturbation generates patterned ground because repeated freeze-thaw cycles redistribute sorted sediments vertically via bioturbation thereby causing sorted circles. Instead freeze-thaw disturbs the material, rather than depleting nutrients, increasing erosion, or uniform composition.
