← GeographyFollowing persistent dilute acid rain incidence, which outcome accelerates soil degradation?
A)Mobilization of aluminum ions to waterways✓
B)Deposition of increased silicates in-situ
C)Formation of stable humic substances
D)Sequestration of essential trace minerals
💡 Explanation
Acid rain accelerates chemical weathering by protonation; thus, mobilization occurs, because lower pH dissolves aluminum hydroxides, increasing runoff into waterways, therefore concentrating potentially toxic aluminum ions in water supplies, rather than silicate production or humic creation.
