← GeographyWhich outcome results when accelerated chemical reactions during pedogenesis occur?
A)Increased carbon sequestration in soil
B)Enhanced rates of mineral weathering✓
C)Decreased infiltration of surface water
D)Reduced strength of soil structures
💡 Explanation
Enhanced mineral weathering happens during accelerated chemical pedogenesis because carbonic acid formation increases the rate of hydrolysis to break down parent material; therefore weathering increases rather than organic matter accumulation, which decreases acidic conditions.
