← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when clay aggregates lack stabilization in grassland?
A)Increased dust storm frequency downwind✓
B)Accelerated coastal mangrove swamp expansion
C)Localized increase in soil albedo
D)Decreased rates of chemical rock weathering
💡 Explanation
Increased dust storm activity occurs because decreased cohesion enables wind-driven particle removal through AEOLIAN DEFLATION. Stabilizing vegetation is absent, therefore dust becomes more readily entrained, rather than remaining adhered within a stable soil structure.
