← GeographyWhich landform results when persistent katabatic katabatic winds redistribute loess?
A)Undulating loess plains (loess sheets)✓
B)Steep rocky slopes (talus cones)
C)Glacial lake outburst floods (jökulhlaups)
D)Weathered cave systems (karst topography)
💡 Explanation
Loess deposition forms vast, relatively flat plains; persistent katabatic winds redistribute the loess, causing **draping** and creating undulating features because fine loess particles become airborne more readily. Therefore, loess sheets are typical, rather than talus slopes which derive from rockfall.
