Which pedogenic outcome is boosted when freeze-thaw cycles weather granite?

💡 Explanation

Increased surface area promotes chemical weathering because frost-wedging increases the rate of mineral dissolution; producing clay minerals during pedogenesis, therefore more clay, rather than influencing OM, depth, or soil density directly.
