← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when increased glacial scouring affects alpine soil formation?
A)Horizon maturity markedly decreases✓
B)Organic matter accumulates exponentially
C)Soil pH rapidly neutralizes
D)Fungal networks establish dominance
💡 Explanation
Horizon maturity weakens due to glacial scouring through mechanical weathering, because consistent removal of topsoil prevents formation of distinct horizons, therefore preventing soil composition development rather than increasing processes that depend on pre-existing stable conditions.
