cold climates
hard minerals
high temperatures
low moisture levels

Answer 1

cold climates and low moisture levels

Answer 2

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 'high temperature' as well as 'low moisture levels'. This is because the high temperature will cause low humidity and if there is low humidity, then there will be less weathering. this is why, high temperature will help in decreasing the rate of weathering or slower the rate of weathering.weathering takes away much of the layer of the topsoil and makes the soil quality worse as far as cultivation is concerned.
