Which landform develops when solifluction lobes advance over previously deposited sediments?

💡 Explanation

When solifluction occurs in periglacial environments, repeated thawing and freezing causes saturated soil to flow downslope, with the lobe fronts forming small terraces with arcuate risers as they push against existing stable ground. Therefore a terraced slope forms, rather than braided streams, hanging valleys, or eskers, which relate to fluvial or glacial erosion/deposition.
