Which outcome arises when leaching exceeds deposition during pedogenesis?

💡 Explanation

Clay eluviation increases because the mechanism of cheluviation transports clay particles downward, removing them from the A horizon during leaching, rather than causing salt accumulation; therefore increased clay eluviation, not increased salinity occurs because deposition remains minimal in this specific case.
