Which outcome occurs when intense wind transports fine mineral grains during loess formation?

💡 Explanation

Widespread loess deposition causes decreased surface albedo, because the dust particles in loess are typically light-colored, undergoing aeolian transport to cover darker soil, therefore increasing reflection rather than promoting weathering or nitrification.
