← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when vegetation stabilizing loess is removed?
A)Increased airborne particulate inhalation exposure✓
B)Decreased river sediment deposition rates
C)Enhanced soil carbon sequestration rates
D)Reduced coastal erosion protection effectiveness
💡 Explanation
Removal activates dust mobilization via deflation. This causes increased exposure to inhalable particulates because the wind erosion mechanism transports fine particles into the air rather than deposition rates or soil carbon increase; coastal erosion is also unrelated.
