Which outcome occurs when intense weathering follows glacial retreat?

💡 Explanation

Thick, highly leached soils develop post-glacially because mechanical weathering produces fine sediment which enhances leaching during subsequent pedogenesis. Intense weathering removes nutrients, rather than conserving them, therefore it limits soil fertility; it also disrupts mineral cementing.
