← GeographyWhich risk increases when intense tropical rainfall occurs?
A)Laterite soil horizon thinning✓
B)Increased desertification risk nearby
C)Higher volcanic eruption likelihood
D)Reduced groundwater table levels
💡 Explanation
The leaching process accelerates laterite's eluviation of minerals within the A horizon, because intense rainfall increases the rate of downward water movement carrying away solutes; therefore, horizon thins, rather than desertification, eruption likelihood, or low groundwater.
