Which enhanced weathering outcome happens after loess deposition?

A)Soil horizon differentiation accelerates
B)Silicate mineral dissolution reduces rapidly
C)Mantle rock erosion rates plateau
D)Iron oxidation decreases by percentage

💡 Explanation

After loess accumulates, an increase in fine silt accelerates chemical weathering; the mechanism named is Podzolization. This is because the mineral composition and particle size promote soil horizon differentiation, therefore increasing rates rather than decreasing them under prevailing conditions.
