← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when vegetation removal accelerates erosion rates in an alluvial plain used for grazing?
A)Increased sediment suspension load✓
B)Decreased hydraulic conductivity rate
C)Expanded riparian zone habitat
D)Diminished groundwater infiltration volume
💡 Explanation
Increased sediment suspension load develops, triggered by accelerated erosion caused by vegetation removal because the entrainment mechanism increases the volume of unconsolidated sediment available for transport; therefore, greater pollution, rather than habitat improvements, results under these conditions.
