← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when increased aridity reduces dust deposition vegetation?
A)Accelerated loess soil profile erosion✓
B)Increased carbon sequestration in soils
C)Enhanced soil aggregate stability forms
D)Reduced mineral weathering rates follow
💡 Explanation
Increased aridity reduces vegetation cover which normally stabilizes loess deposits; soil profile erosion accelerates due to decreased cohesion via wind deflation, rather than stabilizing the soil or increasing carbon storage because vegetation normally binds soil components. Deflation removes the finer particles.
