← GeographyWhich mechanical consequence results when intense bioturbation disrupts weathering?
A)Reduced soil horizon differentiation✓
B)Accelerated chemical weathering rates
C)Increased clay mineral accumulation
D)Decreased water infiltration capacity
💡 Explanation
Reduced horizon differentiation occurs because bioturbation mixes soil layers, disrupting the normal layering process from pedogenesis, rather than the other properties which depend on sustained chemical weathering; therefore bioturbation disrupts horizon development rather than enhances it.
