← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when glacial outwash dust accumulates?
A)Formation of fertile loess deposits✓
B)Increased chemical weathering rates
C)Development of karst topography
D)Intensified desertification processes
💡 Explanation
Loess forms from windblown silt deposits. Glacial outwash provides a significant source of such silt, and dust deposition causes fertile soil composition; therefore loess deposits arise, rather than the other options due to alternate geological contexts.
