Which landform results when wind deflation weakens stabilizing vegetation?

💡 Explanation

Blowout formation occurs due to wind deflation removing sediment where vegetation weakened the cohesion of soil particles; this is Aeolian excavation. The wind overcomes the shear strength because plants no longer bind the material, therefore it creates a depression, rather than depositing material.
