← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when glacial outwash deposits accumulate?
A)Extensive loess deposition blankets landscapes✓
B)Formation of large oxbow lake systems
C)Increased frequency of deep landslides
D)Enhanced chemical erosion of rock structures
💡 Explanation
Loess forms from windblown silt sourced from glacial outwash; the abundance of fine sediment leads to widespread aeolian transport and deposition. Therefore, loess deposition occurs extensively, rather than lake formation driven by river meandering.
