← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when suspended particulate density decreases regionally?
A)Dust storm frequency reduces downstream✓
B)Ventifact formation rate accelerates locally
C)Vegetation patterns increase downwind linearly
D)Eolianite lithification processes occurs quickly
💡 Explanation
Reduced suspended particulates prevent the generation of larger dust storms further downwind via Aeolian Deposition, because particle collisions driving accretion are less frequent. Therefore, reduction lowers storm activity, rather than ventifact formation or changes to vegetation, because these require different mechanisms of transport.
