← GeographyWhich outcome results when pervasive winds encounter existing loess deposits?
A)Downwind accumulation of fertile soils✓
B)Increased chemical weathering from hydration
C)Rapid formation of karst topography
D)Glacial till deposition in depressions
💡 Explanation
The downwind zones gain fertile soils because aeolian transport deposits fine silt; this process is called deflation. Significant loess deposits provide readily transportable material available for aeolian processes rather than creating karst or tills.
