← GeographyWhich primary risk accelerates when rangeland overgrazing reduces vegetation?
A)Increased regional loess deposit formation✓
B)Decreased river sediment deposition amounts
C)Accelerated chemical weathering rates
D)Reduced formation of coastal barrier islands
💡 Explanation
Increased loess deposit formation accelerates because deflation removes fine silt and clay particles, driven by increased wind exposure rather than deposition from rivers. Overgrazing enhances deflation because vegetation stabilizing topsoil is reduced; therefore Aeolian processes move more sediment.
