Which horizon differentiation occurs when intense chemical weathering?

💡 Explanation

Clay illuviation increases following chemical weathering because the weathering increases the fine clay particles via hydrolysis; therefore a Bt horizon forms rather than horizons with unaltered parent material because those are resistant under these conditions.
