Which outcome results when increased chemical weathering affects upland soil composition?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated clay mineral and ion leaching occurs in upland soil because hydrolysis weakens bonds and dissolves minerals during chemical weathering; therefore leaching increases, removing elements rather than adding nutrients otherwise found at lower altitudes.
