Which pedogenic effect on soil formation occurs predominantly due to freeze-thaw weathering?

💡 Explanation

Increased macroporosity results as ice lenses form and expand during freeze-thaw cycles, causing aggregate disruption via cryoturbation; therefore larger pore size is the pedogenic effect, rather than smaller mineral translocation because ice expansion drives apart soil components.
