← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when cyclical changes alter loess compaction?
A)Increased susceptibility to gully erosion✓
B)Elevated carbon sequestration effectiveness
C)Enhanced seismic wave propagation velocity
D)Reduced soil albedo and solar absorption
💡 Explanation
Increased susceptibility to gully erosion results because soil-water content alteration impacts soil structure leading to differential settlement and weakening the material through soil mechanics. Because these conditions increase erosion potential rather than influencing carbon storage or seismic wave behavior under varied climate conditions and moisture levels; therefore, increasing gully density and land degradation.
