← GeographyWhich consequence results when intense rainfall occurs on soil with limited bioturbation?
A)Accelerated topsoil horizon mineral depletion✓
B)Slower chemical exchange kinetics
C)Increased soil structural integrity
D)Reduced risk of surface runoff
💡 Explanation
Accelerated topsoil mineral depletion occurs in soil with limited bioturbation during intense rainfall because increased soil pore connectivity cannot form readily, leading to increased leaching of minerals rather than enhanced resistance to mineral loss; therefore option A.
