← GeographyWhich effect results from increased rainfall in lateritic soil?
A)Nutrient depletion via eluviation process✓
B)Enhanced cation exchange capacity
C)Increased aggregation of clay particles
D)Elevated silica concentrations remain stable
💡 Explanation
Nutrient depletion will occur. Eluviation, a leaching process, removes essential nutrients from the A horizon because excessive rainfall mobilizes soluble compounds and transports them downward; therefore, nutrient availability decreases, rather than enhancement of soil properties.
