Which consequence results when buildings impede downslope flow during solifluction?

💡 Explanation

Downslope structures block soil movement in solifluction, increasing the soil's saturation upslope because impeded water drainage decreases soil strength. Therefore, enhanced saturation, rather than stability, results when flow is blocked rather than remaining unaffected.
