Which outcome occurs when increased surface area accelerates erosion via weathering?

A)Increased sediment deposition downstream, flooding
B)Decreased soil nutrient capacity locally
C)Reduced rates of carbon sequestration
D)Decreased delta formation offshore coastlines

💡 Explanation

Weathering increases surface area, leading to increased leaching of ions via chemical reactions; this pedogenesis inhibits nutrient holding because intensive weathering removes minerals rather than concentrates them; therefore, lower soil column nutrients, not excess sediment load.
