Which outcome occurs when prolonged hydrolysis weathering occurs?

A)Increased silicate clay mineral formation
B)Enhanced feldspar crystal lattice stability
C)Decreased soil porosity and permeability
D)Higher concentration of volcanic glass

💡 Explanation

Increased clay formation results because hydrolysis causes the chemical breakdown of silicate minerals transforming them into clay minerals; therefore the soil is enriched in clay, rather than remaining stable, or increasing in glass content.
