← GeographyWhich risk increases when increased glacial erosion coincides with intense wind deflation?
A)Formation of extensive loess deposits✓
B)Basalt column weathering accelerates rapidly
C)Increased chemical weathering of granite
D)Development of karst topography accelerates
💡 Explanation
More glacial erosion produces finer sediments alongside increased wind deflation from the exposed ground; therefore, aeolian transport increases the airborne silt, leading to loess deposits rather than other weathering or dissolution processes.
