← GeographyWhich risk increases when dune stabilization fails during drought?
A)Increased frequency loess deposition events✓
B)Decreased groundwater recharge rates
C)Lower albedo causing thermal expansion
D)Accelerated chemical weathering gypsum crust
💡 Explanation
More windborne sediment and widespread loess deposition results because vegetative cover diminishes during drought, therefore wind velocity increases across exposed surfaces facilitating deflation rather than retaining sediment, and triggers deposition far downwind.
