← GeographyWhich process causes soil horizon development during pedogenesis?
A)Differential weathering and translocation✓
B)Uniform mineral precipitation only
C)Complete organic matter stabilization
D)Permanent water table establishment

Differential weathering and translocation causes soil horizons to form because various soil components are broken down and moved to different depths, leading to distinct layers; therefore, this contributes to horizon development rather than homogenous deposition processes.
