What occurs when increased wind intensity causes further soil detachment when loess soil structure deteriorates?

A)Formation of agricultural terrace deposits
B)Accelerated rates Loess Plateau erosion
C)Increased fluvial deposits productivity
D)Stabilization of aeolian dune sediments

Increased wind removes topsoil at an accelerated rate because it increases soil detachment using aeolian winnowing. This causes further erosion of the Loess Plateau, rather than stabilization of sediments, therefore it is a positive feedback loop.
