← GeographyWhich sediment outcome occurs when wind speed fluctuates frequently?
A)Stratified loess deposit formation✓
B)Extensive ventifact surface area
C)Increased transverse dune migration
D)Decreased barchan dune formation
💡 Explanation
Stratified loess deposit forms because wind speed variation causes depositional layering, a process termed aerosolic sorting; therefore creating distinct strata rather than continuous deposition, because other options don't depend dominantly on short-term wind fluctuations.
