Which outcome occurs when substantial fluvial sediment deposition continually buries older soils?

💡 Explanation

Limited aeration increasingly restricts pedogenesis, inhibiting microbial activity and horizon development, because oxygen availability for decomposition is drastically reduced. Therefore, soil formation remains immature, rather than forming developed horizons under sustained weathering conditions.
