Which outcome occurs when prolonged drought prevents loess stabilization?

💡 Explanation

Increased wind erosion and deflation results because the lack of vegetation prevents root systems from providing soil cohesion needed for stabilization – this is aeolian deflation. Therefore loess particles can easily be transported further by wind, rather than settling and remaining stable.
