← GeographyWhich pedogenesis rates outcome results from impeded drainage?
A)Increased podzolization and spodic horizon formation✓
B)Accelerated calcification in arid climates
C)Reduced gleization and anaerobic conditions
D)Intensified laterization forming oxisols
💡 Explanation
Poor drainage encourages water saturation, triggering podzolization; high acidity leaches iron, forming spodic horizons because of increased reducing conditions during anaerobic decomposition. This outcome results from waterlogging, rather than faster evaporation or less horizon segregation.
