← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when glacial flour is deposited?
A)Formation of fertile loess deposits✓
B)Creation of deep glacial crevasses
C)Development of esker drainage systems
D)Amplification of permafrost thaw cycles
💡 Explanation
Fertile loess deposits form due to loess accumulation from glacial flour; this is windblown silt. The mechanism is Aeolian transport, because fine particles are easily carried by wind over long distances; therefore, this causes fertile lands rather than crevasses from glacial deformation.
