Which outcome occurs from increased glacial meltwater within cirques?

💡 Explanation

Increased meltwater enhances freeze-thaw weathering because water expands upon freezing, driving crack propagation. Therefore, increased rock weathering will occur, rather than crevasse growth dominated by ice dynamics or land uplift from isostatic rebound.
