Which outcome occurs when eolian transport reaches capacity?

💡 Explanation

Sediment deposition takes place, initiating accumulation, because transport capacity drops below sediment load where the wind slows. This is sediment fallout, therefore eolian deposits form rather than additional erosion, deflation or weathering processes continuing until a new equilibrium.

• Which topographic outcome results as acidic runoff saturates carbonate bedrock?
• Which hazard frequency increase results where permafrost restricts alpine solifluction?
• Which outcome results when rising sea levels saturate coastal cave systems?
• Which hazard results because unconfined pyroclastic density currents from a collapsed eruption column encounter topographic constraints?
• Which effect increases when intense offshore trawling reduces seabed bioturbation?
• Which risk increases when concentrated rainwater infiltrates karst landscapes used for intensive agriculture?
