← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when extensive loess deposits erode?
A)Increased river base level fluctuations✓
B)Elevated groundwater nitrate concentrations
C)Decreased littoral zone sediment deposition
D)Diminished atmospheric dust suspension events
💡 Explanation
Increased river base level fluctuations arise due to loess erosion causing *aggradation* of riverbeds. This is because massive sediment influxes overwhelm the rivers, raising the riverbed and increasing variations in river flow and depth; therefore, increased river base fluctuations occur, rather than stable river flow.
