← GeographyWhich feedback results when sustained aeolian abrasion forms ventifacts?
A)Increased surface roughness and turbulence✓
B)Formation of protective desert pavement
C)Decreased wind speed near ground
D)Stabilization of dune migration patterns
💡 Explanation
Increased surface roughness results from ventifact creation because differential erosion enhances aerodynamic drag creating turbulent airflow, therefore subsequent abrasion is accelerated rather than being dampened by smooth surfaces.
