← GeographyWhich hydrological consequence results when deforestation accelerates topsoil leaching?
A)Increased dissolved solid concentration downstream✓
B)Reduced river sediment deposition rates
C)Decreased aquifer recharge rates locally
D)Localized increase in fog condensation
💡 Explanation
The major result is increased solutes. Leaching transports dissolved minerals from the A horizon via percolation. Because topsoil removal increases water flow-through, the effect rises; therefore higher dissolved solids are more prevalent, rather than reduced deposition, or increased condensation.
