Which risk increases when significant continental glaciation retreats?

💡 Explanation

Glacial retreat exposes finely ground sediment; increased winds cause intense deflation and long-range transport. This results in increased desert loess deposition because fine particles are readily airborne. Therefore more loess deposits rather than reduced sedimentation.
