← GeographyWhich outcome accelerates continental nutrient depletion via aeolian processes?
A)Fine particle intercontinental loess dispersal✓
B)Localized deposition in deflation basins
C)Dune stabilization by vegetation cover
D)Armored surface formation and decreased erosion
💡 Explanation
Continental surfaces lose fine particles intercontinentally by aeolian processes, driven by turbulent winds which mobilize light sediments; this is intercontinental loess dispersal to new depositional environments like grasslands and oceans, because this exports matter, therefore nutrients decrease at old location rather than remain.
