Which risk increases when desert sand source diminishes?

💡 Explanation

Increased airborne-particulates and dust storms occur globally because diminished sand availability causes vegetation loss and lowers the surface cohesion; this is surface-layer deflation, therefore overall dust-emission risk rises, rather than dune stabilization which requires new sand deposition.
