← GeographyWhich consequence results when glacial outwash carries substantial loess?
A)Increased isostatic rebound rates
B)Accelerated rates of niche differentiation
C)Widespread fluvial terrace depositons
D)Formation of extensive periglacial loess plains✓
💡 Explanation
Extensive periglacial loess plains form due to aeolian transport, because the glacial outwash provides fine-grained sediment, then transported by deflation and redeposited downwind. Terraces are created by stream incision rather than loess deposition; therefore, it's loess formation rather than another sediment deposits.
