Which soil characteristic dominates when chemical weathering is limited?

💡 Explanation

Reduced element liberation from parent rock occurs because limited chemical weathering restricts mineral breakdown into easily soluble components, subsequently slowing soil pedogenesis; therefore, mineral soils become dominant, rather than soils enriched by the products of weathering.
