← GeographyWhich process creates fertile loess silt deposits downwind?
A)Aeolian sorting and glacial weathering✓
B)Hydrothermal venting and mineral precipitation
C)Tectonic uplift, then sedimentary layering
D)Chemical weathering and karst dissolution
💡 Explanation
Aeolian sorting causes downwind loess deposits because wind separates finer silt particles which accumulate creating fertile regions; therefore, 'A' produces the desired fertile silt deposits, rather than other geological or chemical separation pathways.
