← GeographyWhich risk increases within a periglacial environment exhibiting significant solifluction?
A)Slope destabilization and infrastructure damage✓
B)Enhanced carbon sequestration in soils
C)Increased biodiversity in alpine meadows
D)Reduced sediment load in river systems
💡 Explanation
The risk of slope destabilization increases because solifluction is the slow downslope movement of water-saturated soil and sediment due to freeze-thaw action; therefore, this causes infrastructure damage, rather than increased carbon sequestration which requires stable soil conditions.
