← GeographyWhich outcome results when shield volcanoes experience advanced weathering?
A)Formation of deep, V-shaped canyons
B)Decreased soil fertility at the summit✓
C)Increased coastline wave refraction
D)Accelerated metamorphic rock formation rates
💡 Explanation
Weathering gradually breaks down volcanic rock, because chemical weathering involves the leaching of essential minerals, and biological weathering further degrades the rock, therefore reduced soil fertility appears rather than canyon formation, which requires greater erosion.
