Which consequence results when increased precipitation causes mineral leaching in bauxite?

A)Formation of lateritic soils
B)Accelerated glacial ice formation
C)Deposition of alluvial sediments
D)Increased volcanic eruption frequency

💡 Explanation

Greater precipitation facilitates mineral mobilization through the pedogenesis process of eluviation, because iron and aluminum become concentrated at the surface, therefore it forms lateritic soil at tropical latitudes, rather than alternatives such as glacial action or volcanic activity.
