Which consequence results when persistent winds encounter alluvial fans?

💡 Explanation

Extensive loess deposits occur because wind selectively removes and transports fine silt and glacial flour from alluvial fans through deflation, rather than causing significant changes to bedrock or stream courses; therefore, loess plains form.

• Which surface deformation commonly results from seasonal solifluction in subarctic tundra caused by melting permafrost?
• Which outcome occurs when increased feldspar weathering affects pedogenesis?
• Which effect arises from a lahar encountering a constricted river valley located downslope?
