Are these processes pedogenic or geologic?

The discussions about the properties of horizons dominated by vesicular pores have mentioned genetic processes on several occasions. Genetic processes are important to whether vesicular porosity warrants recognition with a subordinate suffix symbol, a master horizon symbol, or no symbol.

So to all interested pedologists, I pose the following two questions:


1.) Is deposition of soil parent material, such as alluvium, eolian sands, or loess, a pedogenic process or a geologic process?


2.) Is restricted infiltration of water (
