← GeographyWhat chemical weathering byproduct accumulates when dissolved bedrock's buffering capacity diminishes?
A)Increased soil aluminum mobility✓
B)Elevated silicate mineral deposition
C)Intensified podzolization of iron
D)Amplified clay particle agglomeration
💡 Explanation
Increased soil aluminum mobility results when bedrock no longer neutralizes acids from organic matter decomposition via chelation because carbonic acids from weathering exhaust bases; therefore aluminum ions mobilize rather than forming stable aluminosilicates.
