← GeographyWhich outcome accompanies the salt crystallization weathering mechanism accelerating ventifact formation?
A)Gravel armoring of adjacent surfaces✓
B)Vegetation stabilization of dune fields
C)Increased lichen growth on rock
D)Deposition of thick loess sediments
💡 Explanation
Gravel armoring results because salt crystallization creates weakness that wind abrasion exploits, furthering ventifact shaping. Therefore, surface deflation occurs, rather than vegetation changes or loess deposition, as finer particles are preferentially removed.
