← GeographyWhich outcome follows sustained deposition of suspended sediment by aeolian processes?
A)Formation of loess deposits✓
B)Development of alluvial fans
C)Creation of moraine ridges
D)Formation of shield volcanoes
💡 Explanation
Loess deposits form because windblown silt accumulates over extended periods through the mechanism of aeolian transport; therefore, thick, fertile soils develop, rather than features created by water or glacial action due to different transport mechanisms.
