← GeographyWhich pattern results when differential ice ablation occurs?
A)Glacial cirque formation✓
B)Increased permafrost thaw
C)Accelerated soil creep rates
D)Decreased sea level rise
💡 Explanation
Glacial cirque formation results from differential ice ablation which causes rotational ice flow. This mechanical weathering further carves the bedrock because the process enhances erosion rather than slowing it thereby changing adjacent geological rates.
