Which hillslope outcome develops, increasing glacial debris transport, when permafrost's active top layer experiences seasonal thaw?

A)Lobes advance via solifluction
B)Crevasses collapse producing icefalls
C)Sublimation accelerates ablation rates
D)Calving intensifies into icequakes

💡 Explanation

Solifluction causes lobe advance because the thawed active layer loses shear strength, deforming downslope due to gravity; therefore, debris lobes advance, rather than sublimation, as water saturation drives the mass wasting process.
