← GeographyWhich geological outcome is created by aeolian Saltation?
A)Formation of thick loess deposits✓
B)Development of deep river canyons
C)Creation of volcanic lava plains
D)Transformation by glacial moraines
💡 Explanation
Saltation is the wind-driven transport of particles and the eventual build-up results in loess deposits because smaller silts and clays travels farther, therefore creating widespread, fertile land; rather than creating riverbeds.
