← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when accelerated granite chemical weathering?
A)Increased dissolved ion concentration✓
B)Decreased sediment deposition rates
C)Lowered regional tectonic activity
D)Reduced continental plate subduction
💡 Explanation
Higher dissolved ion concentration occurs due to hydrolysis, a chemical weathering mechanism, causing feldspar’s breakdown in granite. This releases ions to streams rather than reducing deposition because weathering simply supplies more material.
