← GeographyWhich soil outcome increases alongside accelerated glacial retreat?
A)Enhanced chemical weathering rates✓
B)Thicker organic horizon formation
C)Reduced nutrient leaching depth
D)Decreased horizon boundary definition
💡 Explanation
Greater surface exposure from glacial retreat increases substrate weathering because physical fragmentation accelerates, increasing surface interactions enhancing chemical weathering; therefore weathering increases rather than decelerating because climate zones are altered significantly during warming conditions.
