← GeographyIf intense seasonality strengthens chemical weathering on parent rock, which pedogenesis outcome accelerates?
A)Enhanced soil horizon development✓
B)Decreased clay mineral formation
C)Reduced organic matter accumulation
D)Diminished nutrient availability
💡 Explanation
Enhanced chemical weathering increases mineral breakdown in pedogenesis, driving soil horizon development because reactive elements are mobilized. Therefore, distinct layers form rapidly rather than having slow, uniform mixing, given constant environmental conditions.
