Which outcome occurs when glacial outwash deposits accumulate?

💡 Explanation

Loess forms from windblown silt sourced from glacial outwash; the abundance of fine sediment leads to widespread aeolian transport and deposition. Therefore, loess deposition occurs extensively, rather than lake formation driven by river meandering.
