← GeographyWhich geological outcome accelerates when surface vegetation weakens?
A)Increased deflation and desert pavement✓
B)Halting oxidation of ferrous minerals
C)Declining soil pH level steadily
D)Reduction in chemical weathering rates
💡 Explanation
Increased wind erosion removes finer soil particles through deflation, because the soil is less anchored, resulting in desert pavement formation; therefore, deflation increases rather than oxidation being halted, related to rainwater percolation.
