Increased monsoon intensity over uncultivated loess accelerates which outcome?

A)Enhanced collapsibility of reworked sediment
B)Decreased fertility due increased clay
C)Reduced hydraulic conductivity in the subsoil
D)Greater resistance to future erosion

💡 Explanation

Enhanced collapsibility occurs through *hydroconsolidation*, because the increased water saturation weakens the metastable structure of loess, therefore soil collapses under its own weight, rather than consolidating; later erosion is thereby accelerated, not resisted.
