← GeographyWhich landscape feature strongly correlates with loess deposition?
A)Glacial outwash plains downwind✓
B)Active alpine permafrost margins
C)Volcanic caldera collapse zones
D)Limestone karst topography uplands
💡 Explanation
Loess is formed by windblown silt from glacial outwash; therefore, plains downwind of glaciers are strongly correlated zones of loess deposition, rather than other areas because they lack the proper fine sediment source and relevant transport mechanism, Aeolian transport.
