Which outcome occurs when prolonged aeolian processes erode surface materials?

💡 Explanation

Loess deposits form because the mechanism of deflation lifts silt and clay, transporting fine particles. Because aeolian transport favors fine materials, the preferential removal leaves coarser sediment behind; therefore, clay accumulation occurs rather than increased evaporite deposition in wet soils.
