Which soil characteristic results when intense tropical rainfall accelerates soil decomposition?

💡 Explanation

Laterization leads accumulates iron/aluminum because chemical weathering by high rainfall removes silica; therefore, enriched iron and aluminum content result rather than increased silicate clays, because other ions are leached at varying rates.
