Which outcome occurs when strong winds encounter an escarpment in an arid region with varied parent material?

💡 Explanation

Loess deposits form because fine silt and clay particles eroded by the aeolian process of deflation are transported and deposited downwind where airflow diminishes, therefore creating widespread blankets of loess, rather than localized alluvial or karst formations.
