← GeographyWhich outcome accelerates weathering through biotic soil activity?
A)Increased mineral nutrient cycling.✓
B)Decreased oxygen penetration.
C)Reduced surface water infiltration.
D)Minimized root distribution.
💡 Explanation
Increased mineral nutrient cycling accelerates weathering by bioturbation, as burrowing organisms enhance decomposition processes. Therefore, cycling increases, rather than reduced oxygen because the process aerates the soil.
