Which geomorphic outcome occurs when warming temperatures trigger seasonal thaw cycles in permafrost regions?

💡 Explanation

When permafrost thaws seasonally, solifluction occurs because the active layer saturates and flows downslope, creating unstable ground and feeding sediment into rivers, greatly increasing braided stream formation. Therefore increased braided stream formation results, rather than bleaching, erosion reduction, or diminished calving which are unrelated mechanisms.
