Which outcome occurs when glacial meltwater encounters rock flour?

💡 Explanation

Loess deposits form because wind erosion picks up fine-grained rock flour deposited by glaciers, transporting it downwind, therefore creating fertile plains, rather than eskers formed under glaciers where waterflow deposits sediment directly.
