← GeographyWhich consequence results when pervasive weathering releases fine silicates?
A)Extensive fertile loess deposit formation✓
B)Rapid volcanic caldera destabilization
C)Intensified coastal salt marsh depletion
D)Widespread glacial sediment stratification anomaly
💡 Explanation
Extensive loess deposits formation occurs because 'deflation' sorts and redeposits the fine silt particles, concentrating them in specific areas; therefore, fertile loess is created rather than deposition limited by coarser materials.
