Which outcome is caused by sustained aeolian transport of desert sediment?

A)Formation of extensive loess deposits✓

B)Development of braided river channels

C)Accelerated chemical weathering of bedrock

D)Increased dissolution rates in karst topography

💡 Explanation

Extensive loess deposits form because sustained aeolian transport, characterized by deflation, sorts and carries fine silt grains, concentrating them in downwind areas via deposition, rather than causing rivers, weathering, or karst dissolution, therefore loess is formed.
