Which landform develops postglacially where freeze-thaw cycles promote solifluction?

💡 Explanation

Terraced slopes form because repeated freeze-thaw weakens the soil, allowing solifluction, a soil creep process, to generate lobes and terraces. Therefore, gentle inclines yield terraced profiles rather than sharp ridges, which form through glacial erosion.
