← GeographyWhich outcome enhances paleosol formation on loess deposits?
A)Increased clay mineral translocation✓
B)Accelerated oxidation of iron
C)Decreased sediment accumulation
D)Enhanced carbonate precipitation
💡 Explanation
Increased clay mineral translocation enhances paleosol formation because eluvial processes redistribute clay through the loess profile, leading to distinct soil horizons through less impeded leaching rather than inhibiting weathering reactions. Therefore option A, rather than influencing the other decomposition pathways.
