← GeographyWhich outcome directly reduces soil fertility after extreme rainfall?
A)Nutrient compounds are extensively leached✓
B)Organic matter undergoes rapid humification
C)Clay particles experience significant aggregation
D)Capillary forces increase water retention
💡 Explanation
Extensive rainfall results in nutrient depletion because leaching, a process of dissolving and carrying away soluble nutrients downward, occurs rapidly; therefore, fertility declines, rather than humification which improves soil or aggregation's structural benefits.
