Which outcome occurs when offshore winds consistently encounter coastal dunes?

💡 Explanation

Loess deposit layers form because offshore winds transport fine silt particles; this process, called aeolian deposition, accumulates sediments downwind, therefore creating thick layers in continental areas rather than forming barrier islands or alternative outcomes.
