← GeographyWhich outcome results when intense rainfall occurs over soil?
A)Diminished plant nutrient concentration remains✓
B)Increased organic decomposition accelerates rapidly
C)Accumulation rate of soil increases
D)Enhanced soil stability appears quickly
💡 Explanation
Intense rainfall drives leaching, which diminishes the concentration of mobile plant nutrients in the topsoil because rainwater percolates downwards, carrying the dissolved nutrients away from plant root zones; therefore plant nutrients decrease, rather than accumulate.
