Which consequence results when intense tropical chemical weathering?

A)Formation of thick laterite soils
B)Increased silicification of surface layers
C)Decreased organic matter accumulation
D)Enhanced glacial till deposition

💡 Explanation

Deep weathering in the tropics causes extreme leaching, leading to the mechanism of *pedogenesis* and the precipitation of iron and aluminum oxides. Therefore, thick laterite soils form because less soluble elements concentrate, rather than silicification which dominates in drier climates.
