Which outcome results from unchecked eolian deposition along river valleys?

💡 Explanation

Windblown sediments, specifically loess, can deposit heavily in river valleys due to reduced wind velocity, and siltation progressively obstructs channel navigation because the deposition rate surpasses natural river scour. Therefore, navigation is hindered, rather than other climate based changes occuring.
