← GeographyWhich geomorphic consequence primarily results when the depositional boundary moves downwind across landscapes?
A)Extensive loess deposit accumulation✓
B)Accelerated playa lake evaporation
C)Increased alluvial fan formation
D)Widespread basalt flow fracturing
💡 Explanation
Downwind movement leads to loess accumulation because aeolian **sediment transport** deposits silt far from the desert source, therefore widespread blankets develop, rather than increased lake evaporation due to localized inputs/outputs from ephemeral waterways.
