← GeographyWhich outcome accelerates loess deposit alteration through biogenic activity?
A)Increased soil horizon development✓
B)Decreased aridity index values
C)Reduced fluvial sediment transport
D)Enhanced mineral phase oxidation
💡 Explanation
Enhanced soil horizon development occurs because bioturbation mixes soil layers, transporting organic matter; this enhances weathering and creates distinct layers. It promotes horizon development rather than decelerating it, therefore A is right; rather than aridification or decreased transport.
