← GeographyWhich outcome increases when wind velocity increases near a source of loess?
A)Loess deposition far from source✓
B)Formation of desert pavement slows
C)Reduced ventifact formation rate
D)Decreased dust flux by creep
💡 Explanation
Increased wind velocity leads to greater Aeolian transport capacity, enhancing loess deposition far from the source because increased shear stress entrains more particles, increasing downwind sedimentation, therefore long-range deposition increases, rather than changes limited to creep.
