Which outcome occurs when eolian transport reaches capacity?

💡 Explanation

Sediment deposition takes place, initiating accumulation, because transport capacity drops below sediment load where the wind slows. This is sediment fallout, therefore eolian deposits form rather than additional erosion, deflation or weathering processes continuing until a new equilibrium.
