Which long-term outcome accelerates when pedogenesis limits organic matter?

💡 Explanation

Increased erosion occurs because absent organic matter diminishes soil cohesion via bioturbation; therefore soil particles detach easier, causing surface erosion, rather than enhanced differentiation because it disrupts profile development.

• Which risk increases when saturated soil undergoes thaw cycles on a moderate slope in periglacial tundra?
• Which hazard increases where soluble bedrock collapses suddenly?
• Which outcome results from increased subtropical high pressure due to a weakening Hadley cell?
• Which consequence results when differential consolidation induces coastline retreat?
• Which outcome is most likely downstream when unusually strong Benguela upwelling occurs off Namibia?
• Which risk dramatically increases when a levee system built on alluvial deposits undergoes repeated saturation cycles?
