Which pedogenesis effect accelerates within humid tropical soils?

A)Extreme chemical leaching of silica
B)Cryoturbation due to seasonal freezing
C)Accumulation of calcium carbonate nodules
D)Arid climate-induced deflation processes

💡 Explanation

Accelerated weathering leads to intense chemical leaching, preferentially removing silica because high rainfall and temperatures enhance mineral dissolution; therefore, extreme silica leaching occurs rather than cryoturbation or carbonate accumulation, due to warm, wet conditions.
