Which outcome occurs when glacial retreat exposes extensive loess deposits to fluvial erosion?

💡 Explanation

Increased suspended sediment occurs because fluvial erosion readily entrains fine loess particles into waterways. This mechanical weathering increases the river’s sediment load therefore causing increased turbidity, rather than enhanced soil stability typically from vegetation.
