← GeographyWhich outcome primarily follows increased rainfall over poorly draining, sandy soils?
A)Nutrient depletion through eluviation advances✓
B)Enhanced clay mineral formation speeds up
C)Accelerated carbon sequestration progression
D)Reduced soil salinity across the layers
💡 Explanation
Nutrient loss advances because soil saturation accelerates leaching, specifically eluviation—the removal of dissolved or suspended material by percolating water, therefore depleting the vital nutrients, rather than forming clays or other incorrect processes.
