Which outcome occurs when granitic bedrock undergoes spheroidal weathering?

💡 Explanation

Spheroidal weathering attacks corners because there are three directions of attack via hydrolysis reactions, rather than fewer edges/faces; therefore rounded boulders result, rather than angular fragments, because edges and corners weather more swiftly.

• Which outcome would result if Hadley cells weaken?
• Which outcome is amplified where the descending plate dehydrates?
• A river exits a steep canyon onto a plain, forming an alluvial fan; which change would accelerate the fan's progradation?
• Which consequence results when volcanic ash suspends high in atmosphere?
• Which outcome regarding geological activity is intensified specifically near a subduction zone exhibiting a high convergence rate?
• Which outcome is enhanced when arid deflation processes interact with eolian saltation?
