← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when regional dust storms deposit loess?
A)Nutrient enrichment of soil layers✓
B)Decreased albedo of surface rock
C)Increased acidity of groundwater sources
D)Destabilization of tectonic plate boundaries
💡 Explanation
Loess deposition leads to nutrient enrichment because aeolian dust contains minerals that plants use; therefore, soil fertility improves, rather than albedo changing or groundwater acidifying, both of which require different chemical processes.
