Which outcome contributes to loess formation after glacier retreat?

💡 Explanation

Glacial abrasion produces fine silt, called rock flour, transported by wind; Aeolian Transport sorts the sediment. This creates loess deposits because glacial abrasion generates substantial silt, rather than alternate weathering and soil stabilization outcomes.
