Which influence diminishes cryoturbation in periglacial sorted circles?

💡 Explanation

Less frequent freeze-thaw cycles hinder frost heave disrupting soil; therefore, the sorted circles stabilize because repeated volume change from water freezing and thawing slows; rather than biological interactions or material properties that control cryoturbation.
