← GeographyWhich process limits soil profile development weathering deeply?
A)Eolian sediment deposition rate slows
B)Chemical denudation rate exceeds sediment transport✓
C)Capillary action transports salts upward
D)Frost heaving exceeds root density
💡 Explanation
Chemical denudation exceeding transport limits profile development because weathering removes material faster than it erodes, reducing soil depth via chemical weathering. Therefore rate matching, rather than deposition or heaving constrains profile evolution.
