← GeographyWhich outcome primarily results when intense land surface winds encounter unconsolidated topsoil?
A)Dust bowl formation and desertification✓
B)Formation of alluvial fans downstream
C)Increased chemical weathering of bedrock
D)Development of Oxbow lake formations
💡 Explanation
Dust bowl formation occurs because wind DEFLATION removes fine particles, leaving behind coarser material, and decreasing fertility; therefore, desertification accelerates, rather than stream processes forming depositional or fluvial landforms.
