← GeographyWhich outcome is accelerated on lake margins due to cryostatic weathering?
A)Enhanced sediment detachment rates✓
B)Increased thermocline development stability
C)Reduced hypolimnetic oxygen depletion
D)Diminished epilimnetic algae propagation
💡 Explanation
Cryostatic weathering fractures rocks by freeze-thaw cycles leading to enhanced sediment detachment rates because water expands when it freezes within rock fissures; therefore, more sediment becomes available faster, rather than influencing thermocline stability or algae propagation.
