← GeographyWhich pedogenesis outcome primarily results when intense hydrolysis alters feldspar?
A)Formation of clay minerals✓
B)Concentration of iron oxides
C)Development of lateritic crusts
D)Accumulation of siliceous nodules
💡 Explanation
Clay minerals primarily form because hydrolysis breaks down feldspar structures into aluminosilicates during pedogenesis. Aluminum silicate clay formation occurs, therefore horizon A accumulation, rather than creating crusts, releasing iron, or accumulating concentrated silica.
