← GeographyWhich consequence results when excessive rainfall occurs in soils lacking sufficient clay content?
A)Increased soil nutrient leaching occurs✓
B)Reduction in plant-available water occurs
C)Enhanced rates of pedogenesis arise
D)Soil aggregate stabilization processes amplify
💡 Explanation
Increased rainfall mobile soluble material, which is transported downward by the process of leaching. Insufficient soil clay means increased leaching of mobile matter, because clays can capture and retain more materials physically/chemically rather than sandy soil; therefore, soil nutrient depletion increases, rather than increased aggregate stability.
