← GeographyWhich outcome is accelerated when ventifact formation exposes weaker layers?
A)Increased sediment transport distance
B)More rapid deflation deepening✓
C)Larger average ventifact size
D)Stabilization of dune migration rates
💡 Explanation
More rapid deflation deepening occurs because ventifact formation removes surface layers, exposing less resistant material underneath; this increases the erosion rate further on the weakened layer, therefore deepening deflation features rather than stabilizing dunes.
