← GeographyWhich soil development is delayed when acidic bedrock limits weathering?
A)Extended pedogenesis of complete horizons✓
B)Decreased eluviation within the A horizon
C)Accelerated decomposition in the O horizon
D)Enhanced capillary action on silicates
💡 Explanation
Extensive pedogenesis requires continuous influx of weathered material; chemical weathering from acidic bedrock is slow; therefore horizon formation is gradual, rather than expedited, as it affects the entire development process.
