Which outcome occurs when subsurface hardpan hinders drainage?

💡 Explanation

Enhanced eluviation happens because impeded drainage causes prolonged water saturation, promoting leaching or the removal of soluble minerals by gravitational water flow, rather than uniform distribution or less weathering, depending on permeability.
