← GeographyWhich outcome is accelerated by aeolian sand compaction?
A)Vegetation patch degradation✓
B)Seismic wave attenuation
C)River delta formation
D)Magnetic field fluctuation
💡 Explanation
Vegetation degrades faster due to decreased water infiltration. Soil cohesion decreases through loss of pore space by aeolian sand compaction, which leads to increased wind erosion; therefore, plant roots are exposed rather than anchoring the soil, because the sand dune erodes.
