← ScienceWhich consequence results when a lightning strike impacts unfrozen ground?
A)Soil electrical potential increases rapidly✓
B)Reduced chemical weathering subsequently appears
C)Decreased topsoil erosion eventually occurs
D)Lower plant respiration becomes directly stimulated
💡 Explanation
A lightning strike injects massive charge causing soil ionization; Ionization causes the increase in the overall electrical potential via *electrical breakdown*. Therefore, A is correct, rather than affecting weathering or plant respiration which operate on entirely different time scales.
