Which outcome occurs when eolian sediment transport diminishes suddenly?

💡 Explanation

Loess deposits form when windblown silt accumulates rapidly; this occurs because *sediment deposition* outpaces erosion, therefore silty layers build vertically rather than forming other aeolian features, which occur during sustained wind action.

• Which hazard intensity increases when fine tephra accumulates?
• Which effect does the Coriolis force primarily have on large-scale ocean currents, leading to gyre formation?
• Which consequence results when water ingresses subduction zone volcanoes?
• Which outcome is accelerated when increased sediment deposition obstructs subduction zones?
• Which mechanism causes increased rockfall within cirques undergoing thaw?
• Which outcome occurs when gradual 'longshore drift' along a coastline encounters a significant river estuary?
