← GeographyWhich risk increases when vegetation removal occurs in ventifact fields?
A)Loess provenance misidentification✓
B)Reduced deflation intensity
C)Increased granular disaggregation
D)Decreased abrasion efficiency
💡 Explanation
A lack of vegetation means finer sediments, normally trapped, are subject to greater aeolian transportation; therefore, loess source determination becomes difficult because sediment origins are mixed rather than distinct.
