← GeographyWhich outcome results when increased glacial erosion yields significant sediment?
A)Extensive loess deposit formation✓
B)Raised sea level stabilization
C)Accelerated fault line creep
D)Decreased global albedo fraction
💡 Explanation
Increased glacial erosion creates fine silt. The Ablation process causes wind to transport and deposit this silt over large areas forming loess because finer particles are more easily displaced, therefore loess deposits form specifically, rather than localized alluvial fans.
