← GeographyWhich outcome results when glacial flour accumulates via aeolian processes?
A)Extensive loess deposit formation✓
B)Accelerated alluvial fan development
C)Formation of sorted sediment plumes
D)Increased chemical weathering rates
💡 Explanation
The accumulation of glacial flour by wind causes loess deposit formation because aeolian transport spreads fine silt particles across landscapes, rather than localized alluvial fans; therefore, loess plains form, rather than plumes limited by water transport.
