← GeographyWhich risk increases when eolian transport weakens near glaciers?
A)Increased loess deposition instability✓
B)Accelerated glacial ice ablation rate
C)Decreased ventifact formation locally
D)Enhanced desert pavement development nearby
💡 Explanation
Increased loess deposition instability results because sediment transport diminishes, leading to rapid, unstable accumulation via grainfall and surface creep, creating thick unstratified deposits. Therefore, slopes are easily erodible rather than exhibiting equilibrium under constant moderate winds.
