Which consequence results when tephra deposition increases acidity?

💡 Explanation

Increased tephra deposition raises soil acidity; the mechanism facilitating this is chemical weathering; this liberates ions bound in rock, therefore enhanced breakdown occurs rather than direct atmospheric changes because the acid concentration increase specifically affects the soil composition.
