← GeographyWhich consequence results when dust and silt are removed from soil?
A)Formation of deflation hollows develops✓
B)Increased loess vegetation occurs rapidly
C)Mass wasting is reduced greatly
D)Water infiltration uniformly increases rapidly
💡 Explanation
Deflation is the removal of loose surface deposits; thus, deflation hollows develop because wind erosion lowers the surface. Therefore, deflation forms hollows, rather than increased vegetation or reduced mass wasting, as different regions have varying resistance.
