Which risk increases when upland forests are cleared, exposing fine silt?

💡 Explanation

Increased loess deposit wind erosion occurs because forest removal exposes erodible silt rather than protecting it from wind by mechanical cover. Mechanical weathering dominates therefore wind massively erodes exposed sediment rather than deposition occurring which stabilizes material.
