← GeographyWhich outcome is amplified with increased aeolian ventifact formation?
A)Arid regolith deflation and deepening✓
B)Stabilization of desert soil profiles
C)Decreased rates of physical weathering
D)Reduction in salt crystal growth
💡 Explanation
Increased ventifact formation amplifies regolith deflation because abrasion causes finer sediment particles; therefore deflation increases, rather than causing stabilisation because wind erodes mobile particles across surfaces more exposed.
