Which outcome occurs when strong katabatic winds encounter a glacial valley?

💡 Explanation

Loess deposits form because katabatic winds transport glacially-ground sediment (rock flour) far from source, and aeolian deposition causes thick, homogeneous deposits forming. Therefore, loess deposits form, rather than other glacial outcomes, through differential sediment sorting based on particle size and wind strength.
