Which consequence results when pervasive weathering releases fine silicates?

💡 Explanation

Extensive loess deposits formation occurs because 'deflation' sorts and redeposits the fine silt particles, concentrating them in specific areas; therefore, fertile loess is created rather than deposition limited by coarser materials.
