← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when katabatic winds encounter desert basins?
A)Development off loess sediment deposits✓
B)Formation of evaporite mineral crusts
C)Intensification of chemical weathering rates
D)Expansion of desert pavement surfaces

Loess deposits occur because katabatic winds transport fine sediment long distances via Aeolian processes, therefore creating extensive deposits rather than localized weathering because the wind action causes sediment sorting.
