Which outcome occurs when glaciers pulverize bedrock into silty loess?

A)Increased albedo reduces regional temperature
B)Accelerated chemical weathering of silicate minerals
C)Decreased soil fertility inhibits plant growth
D)Enhanced fluvial erosion degrades riverbanks

💡 Explanation

Increased albedo reduces regional temperature; because fine loess particles, when deposited, reflect a high percentage of incoming solar radiation through radiative forcing, therefore temperature falls, rather than weathering which needs water nor direct changing soil composition.
