← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when winds redistribute distal volcanic tephra?
A)Loess formation and soil enrichment✓
B)Increased stratospheric ozone depletion rates
C)Halting permafrost thaw in tundra
D)Accelerated chemical weathering rates
💡 Explanation
Windblown tephra can transport and deposit fine volcanic ash over broad areas, creating loess deposits; this occurs through Aeolian transport. Therefore, loess soil forms, rather than ozone depletion, because tephra particle sizes remain limited.
