← GeographyWhich result occurs when granite bedrock undergoes intense hydrolysis?
A)Kaolinite clay mineral formation✓
B)Deposition of authigenic gypsum
C)Enhanced mechanical fracturing alone
D)Formation of resistant quartzite pebbles
💡 Explanation
Kaolinite clay is produced because hydrolysis chemically weathers feldspars in granite, rather than exclusively mechanical breakdown; therefore, clay minerals will form rather than deposition, fracturing, or resistant pebbles because of feldspar's breakdown.
