Which outcome results when glacial abrasion exceeds weathering?

💡 Explanation

Reduced cirque expansion occurs at the bergschrund because increased glacial abrasion removes rock faster than freeze-thaw weathering. A negative feedback on cirque formation results; therefore expansion decreases, rather than other glacial effects being directly affected.
