Which outcome results due to intensified physical weathering during pedogenesis?

A)Enhanced soil profile horizon development
B)Decreased soil organic matter content
C)Accelerated nutrient depletion from leaching
D)Reduced soil aggregate structural stability

💡 Explanation

Accelerated chemical reactions increase nutrient solubility in the soil, leading to increased leaching; the mechanism, 'solution,' removes elements. Intensified physical weathering, breaking down rock, increases surface area because this accelerates this dissolving process, therefore causing nutrient depletion rather than retention.
