← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when glacial outwash discharge decreases seasonally?
A)Formation of a braided stream pattern
B)Increased deposition of glacial loess✓
C)Development of suspension current transport
D)Enhanced chemical weathering by hydrolysis
💡 Explanation
Glacial loess deposition increases because reduced fluvial transport capacity results in the preferential settling of fine silt particles via Aeolian processes. This is deflation, therefore, rather than turbulent flow forming bedforms via suspension currents, which requires increased water velocity.
