Which pedogenic outcome occurs when intense rainfall impacts bauxite deposits?

💡 Explanation

Laterization occurs because intense tropical weathering causes leaching of silica; therefore, aluminum oxides/hydroxides become relatively concentrated in the B horizon, rather than silicon dominating due to feldspar or volcanic weathering processes.
