← GeographyWhich process inhibits soil profile development where carbonate dissolution accelerates?
A)Calcareous parent material formation
B)Infiltration rate equilibrium
C)Chemical weathering dominance✓
D)Bioturbation from deep burrowing
💡 Explanation
Increased carbonate dissolution accelerates weathering, thus suppressing distinct soil horizon development because chemical weathering rapidly alters and homogenizes the profile, rather than forming layers. Therefore, option C is true; rather than other soil profile factors.
