← GeographyWhich geological impact results from extensive tephra deposition?
A)Widespread surface water acidification
B)Increased solar radiation absorption
C)Reduced groundwater infiltration rates✓
D)Enhanced chemical weathering efficacy
💡 Explanation
Decreased infiltration stems from tephra blocking soil pores due to particle INFTRATION BLOCKAGE; therefore, groundwater reservoirs deplete because surface water isn't replenished, rather than direct contamination or radiation changes, which require different components.
