← GeographyWhich geographic outcome increases surrounding arable land degradation when overgrazing eliminates vegetation?
A)Increased sand deflation intensity✓
B)Reduced soil moisture capacity
C)Decreased nutrient cycling efficiency
D)Accelerated chemical weathering rates
💡 Explanation
Increased sand deflation intensity results because the removal of vegetation through desertification exposes loose soil to erosion, causing increased wind driven removal and redistribution of soil grains; that results in further desert expansion, rather than enhanced chemical weathering.
