Which outcome results when arid region loess deposits destabilize?

💡 Explanation

Increased dust storm frequency often occurs because deflation exposes more fine sediment to erosive winds, a type of aeolian entrainment; therefore, dust storms accelerate, rather than initiating river sedimentation—caused by fluvial processes.
