← GeographyWhich consequence results when wind redistributes volcanic tephra following a major eruption impacting an agrarian landscape?
A)Long-term soil nutrient imbalance occurs✓
B)Regional average rainfall totals decrease
C)Groundwater recharge rates markedly increase
D)Decreased albedo cools local climates
💡 Explanation
Wind redistribution sorts tephra particles decreasing homogeneity; this creates long-term imbalances in soil nutrient distribution because particle size controls weathering rates and chemical composition, therefore affecting subsequent plant growth unevenly rather than a uniform deposition pattern.
