← GeographyWhich pedological outcome results when high rainfall increases?
A)Increased eluviation of soil particles✓
B)Reduced cation exchange capacity (CEC)
C)Accelerated rate of humus formation
D)Decreeases in soil profile alkalinity

Increased rainfall enhances leaching, the eluviation process, because water percolating down through the soil profile carries dissolved or suspended materials. Therefore, eluviation is increased rather than other processes, which require different conditions.
