Which long-term effect occurs when intense physical weathering accelerates?

A)Reduced rates of pedogenesis locally
B)Increased soil organic matter content
C)Enhanced cation exchange capacity rates
D)Greater formation of clay minerals

💡 Explanation

Accelerated weathering inhibits pedogenesis because it focuses on breaking down parent material rapidly, rather than the gradual horizon development, causing horizon disruption; therefore, pedogenesis slows, rather than increased biotic development or ion exchange driven by stable soil formation.
