← GeographyWhich outcome arises due to heightened chemical weathering?
A)Increased sediment erosion and nutrient runoff✓
B)Decreased aquifer recharge rates downstream
C)Diminished floodplain soil water retention
D)Elevated volcanic eruption frequency locally
💡 Explanation
Increased chemical weathering breaks down rocks and minerals influencing sediment erosion/nutrient runoff; this is called acid dissolution. This occurs because acids from rainwater dissolve minerals, therefore increasing transport, rather than altering volcanic activity or flood plains so directly.
