← GeographyWhich desert outcome is intensified given abrasion saturation?
A)Increased ventifact development✓
B)Reduced dune migration rate
C)Decreased playa lake salinity
D)Stabilized loess deposition
💡 Explanation
Increased rates of abrasion enhance ventifact formation because particle-laden winds cause aeolian erosion; therefore, existing rocks are transformed. This occurs rather than stabilization because the limit breaks the existing rock faster in time.
