← GeographyWhich consequence results when surface salts dissolve leading to loess deposit breakdown?
A)Increased wind erosion vulnerability✓
B)Cementation of deposit increases
C)Reduced surface water evaporation
D)Enhanced plant root penetration
💡 Explanation
Increased wind erosion occurs with salt dissolution because it weakens the soil structure via decreased inter-particle cohesion. This loss enables salt weathering to dominate, therefore the loess becomes more easily eroded, rather than stabilized.
