Which risk increases when intense tropical rainfall occurs?

💡 Explanation

The leaching process accelerates laterite's eluviation of minerals within the A horizon, because intense rainfall increases the rate of downward water movement carrying away solutes; therefore, horizon thins, rather than desertification, eruption likelihood, or low groundwater.
