Which outcome occurs when freeze-thaw exceeds soil cohesion?

💡 Explanation

Regolith solifluction is caused by Freeze-thaw action reducing cohesion; this initiates downslope soil mass movement by plastic deformation because the pore water pressure is above the resisting shear strength. Therefore, solifluction accelerates, rather than forming stone circles, where sorting matters.
