Which outcome results when extensive soil disturbance by agriculture precedes intensified desert deflation?

💡 Explanation

Increased dust storm frequency results because deflation removes fine soil particles loosened during agriculture. This lowers surface cohesion and increases erodibility; therefore increased dust storms result, rather than increased precipitation, playa lakes, or carbon sequestration.
