Which consequence results when a rain shadow desert experiences aeolian transportation?

💡 Explanation

Loess deposits accumulate downwind because aeolian transportation carries fine silt and clay over long distances; therefore, fertile soil forms in grasslands, rather than coarser sands layering near deserts, because wind selectively sorts particles.
