Which outcome occurs when increased rainfall accelerates decomposition weathering?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated decomposition increases soil acidity as it releases organic acids; therefore, increased acidity causes accelerated chemical alteration due to mineral dissolution, rather than a physical breakdown of rock as in mechanical weathering.
