Which risk increases when flood control measures disrupt glacial outwash plains?

A)Decreased soil organic matter content
B)Increased risk of expansive soil
C)Greater airborne loess deposition rates
D)Enhanced carbon sequestration rates

💡 Explanation

Increased airborne loess deposition rates becomes a risk because preventing regular flooding reduces sediment deposition; therefore, existing loess deposits become more vulnerable to wind erosion via deflation, rather than being replenished during flood events.
