Which risk increases when rapidly melting permafrost destabilizes stream banks?

💡 Explanation

Increased turbidity results because **sediment mobilization** introduces fine particles to the stream. This elevates suspended sediment concentrations; therefore turbidity increases, rather than decreases in albedo, sequestering carbon or releasing methane, which are effects mediated primarily via different mechanisms.
