Which process accelerates mineral weathering as a result of alpine permafrost thaw?

💡 Explanation

Increased cryoturbation enhances weathering because freeze-thaw action intensifies soil disruption and mineral exposure. This physical weathering accelerates breakdown; therefore, the cycle intensifies mineral weathering, rather than reducing organic matter or changing deposition patterns.
