← GeographyAfter a prolonged drought, which outcome results due to dry aeolian processes?
A)Increased loess deposit formation✓
B)Accelerated chemical weathering rates increases
C)Glacial erratic relocation frequency
D)Decreased soil horizon differentiation
💡 Explanation
Increased loess occurs because wind erosion picks up fine silt and clay particles, depositing over long distances via saltation. Therefore, loess deposit formation increases during severe drought, rather than chemical weathering which requires moisture.
