← GeographyWhich landscape outcome is accelerated when overgrazing weakens soil structure?
A)Increased desert pavement formation✓
B)Accelerated chemical weathering rate
C)Decreased soil carbon sequestration
D)Formation of coastal sand dunes
💡 Explanation
Increased desert pavement results from deflation; wind action removes fine particles because the soil structure, weakened by overgrazing, makes sediments more susceptible to wind erosion. Therefore desert pavement increases, rather than weathering patterns being altered.
