Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Calcification is the accumulation of calcium carbonate in soils. This process is most likely to occur in areas with arid and semiarid climates, where there is high evaporation and low precipitation, leading to concentration of mineral salts in the soil. In contrast, areas with wet climates typically have leaching of minerals and are less likely to have calcification.
