Which outcome typically accelerates when glacial loess weathers?

A)Formation of collapsible soil structures
B)Increased cation exchange capacity
C)Cementation by silica precipitates
D)Deposition of stratified clay sediments

💡 Explanation

Collapsible soil structure formation accelerates because the weathering of loess removes cementing agents, thus creating macro-pores that quickly weaken, therefore settlement occurs rapidly, rather than clay accumulation with smaller pore spaces.
