← GeographyWhich soil characteristic results when intense tropical rainfall accelerates soil decomposition?
A)Increased aluminum and iron accumulation✓
B)Elevated organic horizon thickness
C)Higher concentration of silicate clays
D)Decreased oxidation rates in the soil
💡 Explanation
Laterization leads accumulates iron/aluminum because chemical weathering by high rainfall removes silica; therefore, enriched iron and aluminum content result rather than increased silicate clays, because other ions are leached at varying rates.
