Which 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.
