Which outcome results when intensive agriculture reduces surface cohesion prior to wind events?

💡 Explanation

Increased wind erosion (deflation) occurs because decreased soil moisture reduces grain-to-grain cohesion, leading to wholesale particle removal and the creation of desert pavement; therefore deflation increases, rather than fluvial activity or glacial processes.
