← GeographyWhich outcome accelerates when intense rainfall limits bioturbation?
A)Intense clay mineral weathering
B)Accelerated soil horizon pedogenesis✓
C)Reduced nutrient leaching potential
D)Increased organic matter decomposition
💡 Explanation
Intense rainfall increases soil water content, limiting oxygen diffusion which reduces bioturbation; soil horizon pedogenesis accelerates because water saturation impacts mineral transformation and translocation rather than causing intense weathering; therefore pedogenesis is accelerated.
