Which outcome occurs when increased rainfall intensifies chemical weathering within granite?

💡 Explanation

Increased rain causes increased feldspar weathering and cation leaching. The mechanism is solution weathering, whereby ions are carried away from zones of reaction. Topsoil depletion increases, because dissolved ions leave upper horizons rather than enriching soil or bedrock.
