← GeographyWhich outcome results when intense eluviation impacts pedogenesis within soils?
A)Increased nutrient availability for plant uptake
B)Enhanced translocation of clay particles downwards✓
C)Accelerated rate of soil organic matter
D)Greater mineral weathering close to surface
💡 Explanation
Eluviation is the transport of soil material; accelerated eluviation affects pedogenesis by *illuviation*, the deposition of leached material. Translocation rates increase because suspended clay travels downwards, therefore option B is correct, rather than other processes close to the surface that are associated with weathering.
