← GeographyWhich consequence results when intense rainfall accelerates leaching?
A)Reduced soil fertility results downstream✓
B)Increased dissolved mineral concentrations upstream
C)Accelerated mechanical soil displacement results
D)Elevation of soil carbon sequestration results
💡 Explanation
Rainfall causing increased leaching removes vital nutrients from the topsoil, transported further into horizon soils, therefore reducing overall downstream soil fertility rather than concentrating minerals upstream. Bioturbation slows nutrient removal from zone surface.
