Which weathering consequence follows increased surface-area exposure within loess deposits?

💡 Explanation

Enhanced surface exposure in loess leads to accelerated calcium carbonate leaching because a greater area of the mineral is in contact with infiltrating water; therefore dissolution increases, rather than other soil processes predominating under such exposed conditions.
