Which pedological outcome results when high rainfall increases?

💡 Explanation

Increased rainfall enhances leaching, the eluviation process, because water percolating down through the soil profile carries dissolved or suspended materials. Therefore, eluviation is increased rather than other processes, which require different conditions.
