← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when glacial outwash plains degrade?
A)Increased downstream loess deposition✓
B)Accelerated alluvial terrace formation
C)Localized laterite soil development
D)Reduced regional aquifer recharge
💡 Explanation
Increased loess deposition occurs via deflation, because wind carries fine silt weathered from glacial sediments; therefore, loess blankets downwind areas, rather than forming terraces or affecting laterite development, both tied to different weathering processes.
