← GeographyWhich soil profile change accelerates when increased acidity enhances subsurface leaching?
A)Albic horizon formation✓
B)Caliche layer aggregation
C)Glacial till stabilization
D)Laterite crust development
💡 Explanation
Increased leaching enhances removal of clay and oxides because dissolution frees materials to migrate downwards via eluviation, therefore an albic horizon forms, rather than accumulation features like caliche or unrelated stabilization/development stages.
