← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when intense wind transports fine mineral grains during loess formation?
A)Decreased surface albedo locally✓
B)Increased chemical weathering activity
C)Enhanced floodplain sediment deposition
D)Accelerated soil nitrification rates
💡 Explanation
Widespread loess deposition causes decreased surface albedo, because the dust particles in loess are typically light-colored, undergoing aeolian transport to cover darker soil, therefore increasing reflection rather than promoting weathering or nitrification.
