Which outcome results when arid playas experience deflation?

A)Formation of loess deposit aprons
B)Decreased clay mineral weathering
C)Accelerated evaporite mineral diagenesis
D)Increased alluvial fan incision rates

💡 Explanation

Loess deposits form because deflation removes fine silt and clay from playas; this "Dust Plume Transport" carries particles over long distances where they settle. Therefore, loess deposits form, rather than only faster mineral changes, under differing climatic or erosional conditions.
