← GeographyWhich geographical consequence results when wind interacts with vegetation?
A)Loess deposition increase downwind leeward slope✓
B)Sea ice expansion decreasing ocean albedo
C)Tectonic uplift forming volcanic mountains
D)Chemical weathering dissolution in polar regions
💡 Explanation
Loess are formed in specific landscapes with moderate vegetation. *Aeolian winnowing* removes fine particles, then these wind swept fine sediments get deposited lee of vegetated surfaces because deposition velocity declerates significantly where turbulence and wind speed drastically drop.
