← GeographyWhich 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.
