Which soil characteristic results when intense tropical weathering occurs?

💡 Explanation

Laterite formation happens because intense weathering causes leaching of silica, leaving iron and aluminum oxides. This creates distinct red layers; this is known as differential mobilization, therefore a thick laterite develops rather than organic buildup.
