Which outcome intensifies once a glacier forms a cirque?

💡 Explanation

Increased frost wedging action occurs because cirque formation creates steep rock walls exposed to freeze-thaw cycles; therefore, this erosional process intensifies within the cirque, rather than the landscape rebounding isostatically after glacial retreat.
