Which outcome on land results from aeolian deposition?

💡 Explanation

Fertile loess soils form because wind carries fine silt long distances, depositing it; this is called aeolian deposition, and it enriches the downwind areas with mineral-rich sediment. Loess forms soils rather than the other effects, since it requires sustained dust transport.
