Which long-term ecological outcome results from spheroidal weathering?

💡 Explanation

Spheroidal weathering preferentially attacks edges/corners of rocks because of higher surface area to volume ratios, and the resulting increased chemical reactivity leads to differential rock erosion rather than uniform breakdown. This, therefore, shapes rocks into rounded forms rather than sharp ones.
