Which weathering-driven outcome results on basaltic rock in humid Icelandic environments?

💡 Explanation

Andosols form because intensive chemical weathering of volcanic ash releases aluminum and silica, which then combine with organic matter. Therefore, Andosols develop rather than laterites, which require prolonged intense weathering under tropical climatic conditions.
