← GeographyWhich process causes increased soil horizon mixing during flood events?
A)Intense bioturbation transports sediment✓
B)Accelerated leaching removes organics
C)Increased weathering rates dominate
D)Pedogenesis creates distinct layers
💡 Explanation
Increased stream discharge induces intense bioturbation, where burrowing organisms like worms mix sediments, therefore the soil horizons become less defined, rather than remaining stable like in normal pedogenesis alone.
