← GeographyWhich consequence results when soil aridity increases with unrestricted grazing?
A)Amplified dust storm frequency✓
B)Increased albedo effect globally
C)Accelerated chemical weathering rates
D)Reduced regional hydrothermal fluxes
💡 Explanation
Dust storm frequency is amplified because increased soil aridity and absent vegetation enhance deflation, the process that removes fine particles by wind action for dust storm creation; therefore, dust storms increase rather than changes albedo, weathering, or hydrothermal effects.
