← GeographyWhich outcome is amplified when intense rainfall causes removal?
A)Laterite soil horizon formation✓
B)Increased tectonic plate subduction
C)Widespread stratospheric ozone depletion
D)Decreased global CO2 sequestration
💡 Explanation
Laterite formation accelerates due to intense leaching because dissolved ions are transported downwards via water flow—a process specifically promoted by rainfall driven leaching—therefore concentrating insoluble iron and aluminum oxides, rather than other atmospheric phenomena.
