← GeographyWhich long-term consequence results when wind erosion selectively removes fine sediment?
A)Lag gravel formation increases exponentially✓
B)Improved soil water retention increases linearly
C)Sand dune stabilization accelerates sharply
D)Vegetation density oscillates predictably seasonally
💡 Explanation
Lag gravel will form because wind deflation selectively removes the finer particles, therefore concentrating heavier pebbles and stones at ground level. Its formation accelerates as fine sediments leave, rather than stabilization that's slowed down.
