← GeographyWhich outcome develops when prevailing winds encounter a sheltered deposition zone?
A)Formation of complex loess structures✓
B)Increased rates of chemical weathering
C)Accelerated glacial ice sublimation
D)Diminished rates of coastal erosion
💡 Explanation
Complex loess structures form because windblown silt accumulates; therefore, forming thick deposits rather than soil erosion because particle deposition overtakes removal due to shelter and airflow characteristics; this is aeolian deposition.
