Which soil horizon deficit results when continuous heavy rainfall causes enhanced aluminum mobilization?

💡 Explanation

Excessive rainfall causes **leaching** of clay and iron oxides via eluviation. This leaves behind a light-colored E horizon because aluminum mobilization depletes that layer, therefore the eluviation layer lacks clay, rather than accumulating oxides.
