← GeographyWhich outcome mainly occurs when soil colloids destabilize?
A)Accelerated mobilization of soil nutrients✓
B)Increased organic matter accumulation
C)Enhanced soil aggregate stability
D)Decreased water infiltration rates
💡 Explanation
Nutrient leaching results when colloid destabilization reduces adsorption, increasing soluble nutrient fractions that wash out via eluviation; this outcome occurs through disruption of electrostatic interactions, therefore, mobilization increases rather than stabilization or decreased infiltration.
