← GeographyWhich process dominates horizon development when high rainfall accelerates chemical weathering?
A)Removal via intense leaching✓
B)Increased rate of bioturbation
C)Formation of caliche layers
D)Decreased illuviation rates
💡 Explanation
Intense chemical weathering degrades material which increases leaching. Because chemical weathering involves dissolution, increased rainfall creates pathways that accelerates horizon removal, therefore strong leaching occurs rather than bio-turnover or mineral precipitation being dominant.
