Which pedological consequence occurs when granite weathers differentially?

💡 Explanation

Differential weathering accelerates soil profile development because erosion removes softer weathered minerals exposing underlying layers; this weathering process initiates horizon separation; therefore, a deeper, more defined profile results rather than a uniformly weathered mass.

• Which process causes the formation of a volcanic arc when oceanic lithosphere subducts beneath continental lithosphere?
• Which risk significantly escalates when sea stack separation increases?
• Which outcome results when low volatile magma's viscosity reaches a threshold?
• Which flow regime results from increased geostrophic balance deviation?
• Which mechanism causes thermokarst formation when permafrost thaws under impermeable layers disrupting landscape stability?
• Which outcome occurs when intense rainfall weakens soil above karst?
