Which process accelerates the development of oxisol soils in tropical rainforests?

A)Intense chemical weathering
B)Cryoturbation freeze-thaw cycles
C)Deposition via aeolian processes
D)Slow rate of mechanical weathering

💡 Explanation

Intense chemical weathering accelerates oxisol formation because it drives rapid dissolution of minerals and promotes laterization, a pedogenesis process; therefore, oxisols develop quickly rather than retaining primary mineral composition like soils in colder climates.
