← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when dense vegetation rapidly colonizes newly exposed glacial till?
A)Accelerated horizon development✓
B)Reduced mechanical weathering
C)Decreased mineral dissolution
D)Diminished regolith accumulation
💡 Explanation
Rapid colonization after glacial retreat leads to accelerated horizon development because plant roots drive bioturbation and organic matter accumulation via pedogenesis; therefore faster soil formation results, rather than slower weathering processes or reduced regolith.
