← GeographyWhich geological outcome accelerates when excess bioturbation reduces soil cohesion?
A)Increased mass wasting✓
B)Enhanced mineral weathering
C)Decreased soil albedo
D)Reduced water infiltration
💡 Explanation
Excess bioturbation weakens the soil structure so the resisting forces decline; therefore, mass wasting increases because gravitational stress becomes dominant. The increased displacement rate induces translational slides, rather than maintaining soil integrity.
