← GeographyWhich feedback occurs because thermokarst development destabilizes Arctic slopes?
A)Albedo reduction causing accelerated thawing✓
B)Increased carbon sequestration in wetlands
C)Enhanced vegetation growth stabilising soils
D)Lowered methane production from hydrates
💡 Explanation
Albedo reduction causes soil warming through positive feedback because melting permafrost results in darker, wetter surfaces that absorb more solar radiation via thermal transference, therefore accelerated thawing results, rather than stabilisation or altered carbon outcomes.
