Which glacial outcome is intensified with freeze-thaw cycles?

A)Cirque erosion deepening and widening✓

B)Esker sediment deposit lengthening

C)Drumlin plain surface ice expansion

D)Kettle lake shoreline sediment stabilization

💡 Explanation

Cirque erosion intensifies; freeze-thaw causes rock weathering and glacial plucking, because ice lens formation expands fractures; therefore, the cirque grows via nivation, rather than sediment stabilization or esker/drumlin formation by depositional features.
