Following heavy rainfall in a tropical environment with porous soil, which outcome is most likely to observed due to eluviation?

💡 Explanation

In heavy rainfall, eluviation causes depletion of nutrients, because water percolates downwards dissolving and transporting minerals. This is leaching, therefore the topsoil becomes infertile rather than enriched. Weathering releases material from bedrock, separately.
