How does mineral availability change when intense rainfall accelerates leaching?

A)Nutrients deplete in upper soil
B)Salinity risk decreases noticeably
C)Clay accumulates increasing water retention
D)Iron oxides cement deeper soil layers

💡 Explanation

Intense rainfall drives the process of eluviation, which removes mobile soil constituents; because surface nutrients leach downwards, topsoil fertility declines and plants are deprived, therefore nutrient availability diminishes, rather than salt accumulating or deeper horizons changing.
