← GeographyWhich outcome primarily results as glacial till undergoes pedogenesis?
A)Development of distinct soil horizons✓
B)Increased rate of mechanical weathering
C)Depletion of essential soil microbes
D)Decreased soil porosity and permeability
💡 Explanation
Pedogenesis, the process of soil formation, causes differentiation because weathering, leaching, and bioturbation act overtime to create distinct horizontal layers with differing mineral compositions, therefore horizon development results, rather than accelerated weathering or reduced microbe populations.
