← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when glacial sediment undergoes prolonged Aeolian transport?
A)Loess formation occurs downwind✓
B)Increased cryoconite hole development found
C)Desert pavement creates stable surfaces
D)Artesian aquifers experience quicker replenishment
💡 Explanation
Loess formation occurs because silt-sized particles are carried long distances by wind exhibiting Aeolian transport and deposited. This process known as winnowing separates sediment types; therefore, loess forms rather than other deposition events within meltwater channels.
