Which risk increases extensively when freeze-thaw weathering saturates soil?

💡 Explanation

Increased soil saturation favors solifluction, a slow downslope movement, because viscous drag overwhelms soil cohesion leading to lobe formation; therefore, lobe formation increases rather than altered weathering or bio activity, which occur under different conditions.
