← GeographyWhich outcome follows increased rainfall intensity on soils?
A)Accelerated soil horizons depletion✓
B)Slower evapotranspiration rates develop
C)Reduced surface erosion occurs
D)Increased carbon sequestration happens
💡 Explanation
Increased rainfall intensity results in increased soil horizons depletion because `leaching` moves soluble minerals and organic matter downwards through the soil profile at a faster rate due to the increased water flow; therefore horizons will deplete, rather than other listed processes occurring.
