← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when intense tropical rainfall increases?
A)Increased soil profile horizon eluviation✓
B)Decreased carbon sequestration capacity
C)Accelerated rates of sediment deposition
D)Reduced rates of soil profile aggradation
💡 Explanation
Increased rainfall enhances solute leaching from upper soil horizons; this Horizon Eluviation process removes minerals and organic matter because gravitational water carries dissolved substances downward, therefore eluviation intensifies in the A and E horizons rather than the counter effect of aggradation.
