← GeographyWhich outcome follows increased topsoil disruption due to deflation?
A)Nutrient-poor surface layer predominance✓
B)Increased biocrust soil development
C)Saltating dune stabilization
D)Enhanced seed germination rates
💡 Explanation
Increased topsoil erosion shifts soil composition because deflation winnows away finer, nutrient-rich particles; therefore, the surface develops a nutrient-poor predominance, rather than promoting biocrust, dune stabilzation, or enhanced seed germination in the depleted soils.
