Which process primarily controls soil composition after prolonged intense weathering?

💡 Explanation

Selective mineral dissolution determines which elements weather and leach out; therefore the remaining soil reflects enhanced insoluble constituents, because weathering preferentially removes certain minerals rather than maintaining original proportions.

• Which landscape formation occurs because vegetation removal destabilizes dunes?
• Which topographical change arises when stream captures create endorheic lakes?
• Which outcome typically occurs offshore during subduction initiation?
• Which process causes silicic magma formation above subducting plates?
• Which volcanic outcome results when a confined eruption transitions directly from a lava dome collapse to intense pyroclastic flow?
• Which outcome occurs when the descending air in a Hadley cell is significantly drier than average?
