Which risk markedly increases when permafrost thaw intensifies solifluction processes on a sloping tundra landscape?

💡 Explanation

When permafrost thaws and intensifies solifluction, freeze-thaw action weakens sediments, leading to soil creep and the formation of solifluction lobes which exert significant force. Therefore infrastructure damage results, rather than changes to biodiversity, emissions, or landscape-driven albedo change; these depend on different factors.
