← GeographyWhich geological effect results in loess deposition from glaciers?
A)Glacial outwash deflation✓
B)Eolian stream deposition
C)Moraine terminal accumulation
D)Sublimation cryosphere sorting
💡 Explanation
Glacial outwash deflation occurs when fine sediments are mobilized during glacial retreat, because sediments are easily entrained and deposited downwind. Therefore, loess forms, rather than other deposition types which involve different transport mechanisms.
