Increased ventifact formation results when which change occurs?

💡 Explanation

Reduced vegetation causes increased ventifact formation because it allows increased sand abrasion by the wind, involving deflation, therefore aeolian abrasion increases, rather than being mitigated by vegetative cover providing surface stability.
