← GeographyWhich consequence results when intense monsoonal rains saturate loess deposits covering agricultural land?
A)Increased groundwater recharge rates occur
B)Accelerated soil creep slope failures arise✓
C)Enhanced plant nutrient availability develops
D)Reduced dust storm frequency results
💡 Explanation
Saturated loess loses its structural integrity, therefore slope failures accelerate, rather than enhanced plant growth or increased groundwater because decreased shear strength initiates mass wasting via soil creep.
