← GeographyWhich landform consequence occurs where freeze-thaw weathering is dominant?
A)Extensive talus slope accumulation✓
B)Rapid chemical sediment lithification
C)Formation of deep soil horizons
D)Reduced coastal erosion impact
💡 Explanation
Extensive talus slope accumulation occurs because freeze-thaw weathering physically fragments the rock through ice wedging. Repeated cycles cause angular debris buildup rather than horizon development; therefore, talus slopes form, rather than soil profiles or reduced coastal erosion.
