Which outcome occurs when intense tropical rainfall accelerates mineral dissolution?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated mineral dissolution enhances leaching, which causes increased concentration of aluminum and iron oxides in the lower soil horizons because these are less soluble. The Podzolization mechanism facilitates this, rather than retaining silica at the top.
