← GeographyWhich increased risk follows loess deposit exposure to increased saturation?
A)Progressive gully erosion development✓
B)Decreased soil carbon sequestration
C)Accelerated mineral weathering rates
D)Reduced local albedo effect
💡 Explanation
Increased saturation in loess landscapes activates piping erosion, progressing to gully formation, because the increased pore water pressure reduces soil cohesion, and internal erosion becomes dominant therefore option A, rather than carbon decrease, weathering or albedo impacts.
