Solifluction lobes in periglacial areas are related to what?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Slow downslope flow of water-saturated surface soil
The correct answer is A. In a periglacial environment, the seasonal thawing of the active layer above permanently or seasonally frozen ground can saturate the soil with water. This softened layer moves slowly downslope under gravity and develops lobate forms called solifluction lobes. The other choices describe unrelated marine, cave, or fluvial ideas.
