Which correctly lists the three processes that are affected by freeze and thaw cycles?

Question

creep, landslide, and deposition
deposition, creep, and weathering
landslide, slump, and deposition
slump, weathering, and creep

Answer 1

The correct answer is slump, weathering, and creep.

Freeze and thaw cycles contribute to the weathering of rocks as they cause the expansion and contraction of materials, leading to the breakdown of rock. Additionally, these cycles can trigger slumps (a type of mass movement) and can influence creep, which is the slow, gradual movement of soil or rock down a slope.
