← GeographyWhich feedback process amplifies cirque erosion at equilibrium line?
A)Positive nivation feedback mechanism✓
B)Negative strain hardening feedback
C)Inertial oscillation feedback loop
D)Metastable precipitation gradient feedback
💡 Explanation
Enhanced freeze-thaw weathering through positive nivation feedback increases erosion at the equilibrium line forming a cirque, because freeze-thaw cycles mechanically disintegrate rock. Therefore, larger cirques develop, rather than weathering alone modifying existing rock.
