← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when glacial outwash interacts with strong winds?
A)Deposition of extensive loess deposits✓
B)Formation of desert pavement surfaces
C)Development of deep V-shaped valleys
D)Increased chemical weathering rates
💡 Explanation
Deposition of loess occurs because glacial outwash provides a fine sediment source that is then transported long distances by aeolian processes; wind erosion causes these sediments to accumulate which leads to substantial loess deposits rather than other erosional or chemical weathering outcomes.
