Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wind erosion of soil can be significant, even from a single storm. Heavy winds can cause significant soil loss, especially in areas with little vegetation or exposed soil surfaces.

Answer: E
 The increase in wind speed does cause an increase in soil loss, but it is not the only factor. Surface configuration and soil factors such as soil structure, texture, and moisture content can also affect wind erosion.
