Which outcome typically occurs when intense mechanical weathering reduces mountain slopes adjacent to loess plains?

A)Increased aeolian sediment deposition rates
B)Decreased freeze-thaw weathering frequency
C)Accelerated chemical reaction soil formation
D)Stabilized stream channel bank erosion locally

💡 Explanation

Increased aeolian sediment deposition results, because the *deflation* of mountain slope sediments means they are transported across adjacent plains. This transport enhances sediment supply, therefore accelerating loess deposition rather than slowing it because weather cycles are unchanged.
