← GeographyWhich outcome on land results from aeolian deposition?
A)Formation of fertile loess soils✓
B)Erosion of rock pedestals
C)Development of desert varnish
D)Creation of fluvial drainage patterns
💡 Explanation
Fertile loess soils form because wind carries fine silt long distances, depositing it; this is called aeolian deposition, and it enriches the downwind areas with mineral-rich sediment. Loess forms soils rather than the other effects, since it requires sustained dust transport.
