← GeographyWhich long-term outcome results when Antarctic bedrock undergoes differential weathering during pedogenesis?
A)Enhanced carbon sequestration rates globally
B)Increased aeolian sediment transport distances
C)Formation of patterned ground landforms✓
D)Accelerated chemical weathering of silicates
💡 Explanation
Patterned ground emerges due to cryogenic sorting via frost heave driving particles of different sizes into patterned arrangements because freeze-thaw cycles act differentially on varying soil composition. Therefore, patterned ground forms; rather than other options, which implicate different processes.
