Which outcome occurs when glacial outwash plains degrade?

💡 Explanation

Increased loess deposition occurs via deflation, because wind carries fine silt weathered from glacial sediments; therefore, loess blankets downwind areas, rather than forming terraces or affecting laterite development, both tied to different weathering processes.
