Which outcome occurs faster in warm, humid pedogenesis?

A)Accelerated chemical weathering of bedrock
B)Slower oxidation of metallic minerals
C)Reduced clay mineral formation rates
D)Decreased organic matter decomposition

💡 Explanation

Accelerated chemical weathering occurs because higher temperatures and humidity increase the rate of hydrolysis. Therefore, bedrock breaks down more quickly because hydrolysis attacks mineral structures, rather than other slower weathering processes acting alone.
