← GeographyWhich outcome is caused by sustained aeolian transport in arid regions?
A)Formation of extensive loess deposits✓
B)Increased formation of playa lakes
C)Accelerated glacial erosion patterns
D)Decreased rate of chemical weathering
💡 Explanation
The formation of loess deposits occurs via wind-blown sediment accumulation because aeolian transport moves silt and clay over long distances; therefore, loess forms, rather than accelerated glacial erosion which requires glacial action or chemical weathering that requires moisture.
