← GeographyWhich process increases when acidic rainfall accelerates weathering in granite bedrock?
A)Regolith development✓
B)Plagioclase feldspar formation
C)Crystal lattice strengthening
D)Chemical bond stabilization
💡 Explanation
Regolith development increases due to the increased chemical weathering releasing mineral components; dissolution happens because hydrolysis breaks down feldspars chemically, therefore more broken rock results, rather than strengthening of crystal lattices.
