Which outcome results when shield volcanoes experience advanced weathering?

💡 Explanation

Weathering gradually breaks down volcanic rock, because chemical weathering involves the leaching of essential minerals, and biological weathering further degrades the rock, therefore reduced soil fertility appears rather than canyon formation, which requires greater erosion.
