Which outcome accelerates erosion after vegetation removal on barrier islands?

💡 Explanation

Amplified aeolian transport capacity increases because vegetation stabilizes sand; therefore, wind can more easily erode island material, rather than remaining trapped by plant structures with less transport capacity to exposed surface.

• Which outcome arises from the variation in insolation?
• Which risk increases after a large inland earthquake ruptures along a transform vault zone far from coastlines?
• Which outcome results when a meander erodes through its neck during enhanced streamflow?
• Which outcome results when a prolonged regional drought intensifies?
• Which outcome results from increased dissolved CO2 precipitation permeating karst?
• Which outcome arises where a low-gradient river encounters localized bank erosion during flood conditions?
