Which outcome results from unchecked agricultural soil deflation?

💡 Explanation

Accumulation of loess deposits increases because deflation removes finer silts and clays from the soil surface, which wind then carries afar; therefore, the resulting accumulation will increase, rather than other options linked to processes that protect top soil.
