Which outcome follows accelerated glacial retreat on bedrock?

💡 Explanation

Suppressed biochemical pedogenesis is the result because glacier retreat exposes bare bedrock which inhibits biochemical weathering; soil formation depends on sufficient organic matter. Biochemical pedogenesis will not be activated, therefore, rather than physical or aeolian processes which may still occur.
