Which outcome occurs when prolonged winds erode desert sandstone?

A)Extensive loess deposit formation downwind
B)Decreased rain shadow effect locally
C)Accelerated formation of offshore atolls
D)Increased rate of volcanic activity

💡 Explanation

Aeolian processes such as deflation can carry small particles far from the source area; the airborne dust settles in downwind areas creating extensive loess deposits, because fine particles are carried and deposited according to prevailing wind patterns, rather than other sedimentation patterns influencing atoll formation.
