Which outcome results when increased chemical weathering alters the underlying rock during pedogenesis?

💡 Explanation

Increased chemical weathering during pedogenesis enhances decomposition, increasing regolith thickness which destabilizes landscapes through mass wasting, because thick, unconsolidated material is more susceptible to erosion; therefore regolith thickens and destabilizes landscape, rather than improving soil fertility.
