← GeographyWhich 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.
