← GeographyWhich outcome results during pedogenesis on a floodplain?
A)Increased organic matter accumulation
B)Decreased primary mineral weathering
C)Reduced soil profile differentiation✓
D)Enhanced clay mineral formation
💡 Explanation
Reduced soil profile differentiation occurs because frequent alluvium deposits disrupt undisturbed soil development involving horizon formation; therefore soil layering becomes less distinct, rather than enhanced by complete cycling periods.
