Which outcome occurs when increased glacial ablation destabilizes permafrost?

💡 Explanation

Extensive loess deposit formation occurs upon glacier retreat because glacial sediments get picked and transported by winds; a process called deflation, therefore winds cause extensive loess formation, rather than other landforms confined to rock surfaces, or that reduce sediment.
