← GeographyWhich outcome results when arid region loess deposits destabilize?
A)Increased dust storm frequency occurs✓
B)Accelerated river sediment deposition forms
C)Enhanced chemical weathering reactions occur
D)Widespread sinkhole formation becomes common
💡 Explanation
Increased dust storm frequency often occurs because deflation exposes more fine sediment to erosive winds, a type of aeolian entrainment; therefore, dust storms accelerate, rather than initiating river sedimentation—caused by fluvial processes.
