Which profile change accelerates when deforestation exceeds infiltration?

💡 Explanation

Increased surface runoff erodes profiles undergoing earlier pedogenesis because decreased vegetative cover removes soil stability. Biogeochemical weathering becomes subordinate; therefore, removal outpaces soil formation acceleration of erosion; rather than groundwater changes.

• Which outcome occurs when excessive sediment deposition obstructs proglacial lakes?
• Which risk significantly increases for infrastructure built across slopes undergoing active solifluction?
• Which mechanism causes distinct ridges known as 'arêtes' to form between adjacent glacial cirques in mountainous regions?
• Which river feature develops when a cutoff occurs?
• Which atmospheric process redirects trade winds, forming narrow, intense jet streams aloft?
• Which mechanism increases sinkhole formation where groundwater extraction lowers aquifer pressure?
