← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when the Sahara's Harmattan winds deposit sediments?
A)Increased dust cloud formation frequency
B)Enhanced soil nutrient replenishment downwind✓
C)Accelerated glacial ice ablation rates
D)Decreased local albedo short-term
💡 Explanation
Saharan Harmattan winds deposit loess made from fine mineral particles; the Aeolian dust deposition replenishes soil nutrients downwind because the dust contains essential elements. Therefore, option B is correct, rather than dust storms or reflectivity changes relating to desert surfaces.
