← GeographyWhich outcome follows when wind over-extracts fine particles?
A)Widespread loess deposit formation occurs✓
B)Massive desertification halts nutrient cycles
C)Ice-wedge development accelerates locally
D)Regolith formation shifts toward lithification
💡 Explanation
Widespread loess deposit formation emerges via aeolian transport because wind selectively removes and deposits silt-sized particles via deflation, rather than leading to widespread desertification in the extraction area; therefore, this accumulation forms fertile soils, rather than ice or rock.
