Which slope instability outcome is driven by solifluction?

💡 Explanation

Lobate terrace formation advances because solifluction causes soil to flow slowly downslope on tundra which is termed soil creep, therefore terraces form progressively rather than rapid landslides or ice fracturing processes causing crevasse creation.
