← GeographyWhich condition promotes thick loess formation near glaciers?
A)Enhanced glacial rock flour production✓
B)Decreased wind erosion rates
C)Stabilized depositional drainage pathways
D)Limited soil microbial communities
💡 Explanation
Glacial rock flour enhances loess formation because glacial grinding increases finely ground sediment; therefore, enhanced flour leads to thick loess deposits, rather than slower erosion rates or stabilized drainage reducing sediment.
