← GeographyWhich outcome results from increased aridity amplifying aeolian processes?
A)Extensive loess deposit formation✓
B)Increased chemical weathering rates
C)Lowering of the regional water table
D)Stabilization of desert pavement surfaces
💡 Explanation
Extensive loess deposit formation results when aridity boosts wind erosion and transport; this enhances silt-sized particle abrasion via saltation into widespread deposition because the amplified wind energy transports material further and faster rather than causing it to become stabilized, requiring moisture.
