Which process accelerates the creation of loess deposits where glaciers retreated, because permafrost thawing enhances bioturbation?

A)Increased aeolian sediment transport rate
B)Decreased chemical weathering intensity
C)Enhanced volcanic ash distribution
D)Reduced fluvial sediment deposition

💡 Explanation

Increased aeolian sediment transport rate occurs because permafrost thaw allows plant roots and burrowing animals to destabilize previously frozen soil–bioturbation; therefore wind erosion is enhanced, creating loess, rather than weathering or changes to volcanic activity.
