Accelerated weathering of amphibolite bedrock causes what outcome due to resultant differential pedogenesis?

💡 Explanation

Differential weathering leads to variable soil depths; because zones weather faster, material is removed faster. Mass wasting processes like soil creep form stepped features via pedogenesis, therefore terraced slopes appear, rather than the other outcomes, which need other stabilizing factors.

• Which outcome occurs at a subduction zone with shallow slab angle?
• Which outcome increases on an alluvial plain when vegetation degrades?
• Which mechanism inhibits continued stalactite growth after cave saturation?
• Which outcome accelerates sediment deposition in fault-block basins?
• Which consequence results when a migrating barrier island submerges?
