← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when vegetation removal destabilizes dunes?
A)Increased deflation and sand transport✓
B)Accelerated chemical weathering of dune sand
C)Reduced mechanical weathering rates
D)Stabilization reduces dune migration rates
💡 Explanation
Increased deflation rates cause greater sand transport because vegetation removal disrupts the sand's protective layering, accelerating air entrainment via wind erosion transport rather than trapping, therefore increased activity occurs without plant roots.
