← GeographyWhich outcome occurs from increased glacial retreat depositing large quantities of silt?
A)Formation of extensive loess deposits✓
B)Increased chemical weathering on bedrock
C)Elevated regional metamorphic process rates
D)Localized intensification of volcanic activity
💡 Explanation
Loess deposits form because wind action redistributes fine glacial silt over broad areas; this is aeolian deposition. Therefore, loess plains develop, rather than changes in underground chemistry or enhanced geological process because the silt is transported mechanically.
