← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when glacial till undergoes intense arctic weathering?
A)Increased solifluction layer development✓
B)Accelerated chemical weathering dominates
C)Diminished cryogenic sorting action
D)Decreased organic matter accumulation
💡 Explanation
More solifluction results because cryoturbation weakens the soil structure, increasing downslope movement via gelifluction. This 'frost creep' destabilizes horizon, rather than accelerating chemical processes, due to low temperatures; therefore, choice A.
