← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when wind exceeds vegetation anchoring thresholds on dunes?
A)Increased aeolian transport rate✓
B)Diminished surface saltation flux
C)Enhanced chemical weathering rate
D)Stabilization of dune morphology
💡 Explanation
An increased aeolian transport rate occurs because vegetation removal allows grain detachment via wind erosion, known as deflation. This mobilizes sand, therefore causing net transport. Saltation decreases, rather than is increased; weathering isn't directly enhanced.
