← GeographyWhich consequence results when soil saturation accelerates deflation?
A)Decreased soil aggregate resistance✓
B)Higher albedo from exposed minerals
C)Reduced evapotranspiration rates overall
D)Increased nutrient deposition nearby
💡 Explanation
Decreased soil aggregate resistance follows accelerated deflation because increased moisture reduces soil cohesion, initiating mechanical breakdown. Decreased resistance leads to reduced stability; therefore, soil aggregates destabilize, promoting detachment, rather than stabilization mechanisms alone, near soil water saturation.
