Which pedogenic outcome occurs when intense rainfall impacts bauxite deposits?

💡 Explanation

Laterization occurs because intense tropical weathering causes leaching of silica; therefore, aluminum oxides/hydroxides become relatively concentrated in the B horizon, rather than silicon dominating due to feldspar or volcanic weathering processes.

• Which mechanism primarily concentrates rare earth elements during carbonatite magma volcanism?
• Which mechanism causes caldera formation after a Plinian eruption in a stratovolcano?
• Which consequence results when katabatic winds encounter a strong temperature inversion near a valley floor?
• Which outcome commonly results when alluvial riverine plains experience incision?
• Which increasing risk to alpine communities results when permafrost thaw amplifies seismic ground motion?
• Which geographic feature results when prevailing wind encounters an obstacle, reducing its velocity and causing increased alluvial deposition?
