Which consequence results when increased thaw depth activates cryoturbation?

💡 Explanation

Increased thaw depth causes greater ground instability and saturation; therefore, the active layer undergoes more solifluction because thawing reduces soil strength and gravitational forces yield downslope movement, rather than allowing stabilization or affecting glacial dynamics
