← GeographyWhich consequence results when tephra deposition increases acidity?
A)Accelerated weathering of bedrock material✓
B)Increased atmospheric aerosol concentrations globally
C)Decreased global carbon sequestration rates
D)Enhanced formation of igneous extrusions
💡 Explanation
Increased tephra deposition raises soil acidity; the mechanism facilitating this is chemical weathering; this liberates ions bound in rock, therefore enhanced breakdown occurs rather than direct atmospheric changes because the acid concentration increase specifically affects the soil composition.
