← GeographyWhich outcome related to soil nutrients occurs during loess deposition?
A)Increased soil cation exchange capacity✓
B)Accelerated chemical weathering processes
C)Reduced water infiltration soil rates
D)Decreased organic matter decomposition
💡 Explanation
Loess enriches soil because windblown silt undergoes **mineral aggregation**, thereby increasing the surface area of soil particles that can hold nutrient cations; therefore, the soil quality improves rather than experiencing other options' outcomes under different circumstances.
