Which outcome occurs when aeolian sediment reaches capacity?

A)Dunes form via saltation processes
B)Ventifact surfaces gain high polish
C)Loess deposits experience rapid erosion
D)Desert pavement growth rate declines

💡 Explanation

When wind's sediment load reaches capacity, transport ceases, and material accumulates; the sand begins to move by saltation, developing dunes because they have reached capacity. Dune formation won’t occur without sufficient sediment, therefore rather than polishing ventifacts which requires particle movement.
