← GeographyWhich process causes fertile farmland development from loess?
A)Windblown particle surface stabilization✓
B)Rapid glacial advance and retreat
C)Volcanic ejecta nutrient deposition
D)Chemical weathering of basalt bedrock
💡 Explanation
Windblown loess deposits stabilize through vegetation and cementation, leading to fertile topsoil rather than remaining unstable, because the Aeolian deposition process creates mineral-rich, fine-grained sediment; therefore surface stabilization promotes rich farmland, rather than processes acting on rock.
