← GeographyWhich consequence results when excessive irrigation mobilizes pesticides via saturated soil?
A)Enhanced nitrate concentration in aquifers✓
B)Stabilized soil aggregate formation
C)Increased organic matter decomposition
D)Reduced topsoil salinity levels
💡 Explanation
Enhanced nitrate concentration occurs because pesticide leaching transports contaminants through saturated soil; thus, nitrates accumulate in aquifers rather than contributing to stabilized soil because excessive watering degrades aggregates and promotes nitrate mobility.
