← GeographyWhich consequence results when destabilization occurs due to solifluction?
A)Increased sediment deposition in valleys
B)Accelerated weathering of bedrock surfaces
C)Formation of stepped hillslope topography✓
D)Enhanced chemical dissolution of minerals
💡 Explanation
Solifluction causes stepped topography because saturated soil creeps downhill on permafrost, creating lobes and terraces. Terracettes form rather than enhanced deposition or mineral weathering because it's a process of soil movement.
