Which outcome reduces arable land when excessive grazing begins?

A)Increased sand transportation by deflation
B)Accelerated chemical weathering of bedrock
C)Decreased intensity of orographic precipitation
D)Reduced effectiveness of sediment deposition

💡 Explanation

Increased grazing removes vegetation, which causes increased surface exposure; therefore, enhanced wind erosion (deflation) removes topsoil and carries sand further, rather than causing bedrock weathering, rainfall change, or reduced deposition, because soil consolidation depends on the presence of plant roots.
