Which outcome occurs when parent rock weathers during pedogenesis?

💡 Explanation

Weathering in pedogenesis facilitates mineral transformation in the soil through mineral dissolution; this is mineral alteration leading to changes in the soil's composition. Therefore, soil's mineral content changes rather than conductivity, temperature gradient, or pore pressures if weathering occurs in a regolith.
