← GeographyWhich topographic outcome characterizes landscapes undergoing extensive solifluction?
A)Lobar or sheet-like landforms✓
B)Deep, narrow V-shaped valleys
C)Steep, vertical canyon walls
D)Flat, expansive floodplains
💡 Explanation
Lobar or sheet-like landforms prevail because solifluction, driven by the freeze-thaw cycle causes soil creep. This causes viscous flow of saturated, unconsolidated material, therefore surface features become rounded and subdued, rather than sharp or deeply incised.
