← GeographyWhich risk elevates when mechanical weathering surpasses chemical?
A)Accelerated sediment transport rates✓
B)Reduced soil formation timeframe
C)Increased overall mineral dissolution
D)Slower rate of cation exchange
💡 Explanation
Increased fragment size from mechanical weathering facilitates accelerated sediment transport, because smaller particles, produced during chemical weathering, bind better; therefore, higher rates of transport result, rather than changes in nutrient availability, dissolution or exchange directly.
