← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when glacial sediment is efficiently lifted far away over land, followed by "frost shattering"?
A)Extensive loess deposit formation occurs✓
B)Katabatic wind generation decreases
C)Moraine formation in river valleys
D)Esker sedimentation becomes accelerated
💡 Explanation
Extensive loess deposition occurs via wind erosion (deflation) and airborne transport, resulting in fine silt-sized particles being deposited. Therefore, finer materials cause increases in loess regions rather than moraines because the mechanism of deposition occurs via aeolian transport, not glacial deposition.
