Which soil horizon development results from eolian weathering?

💡 Explanation

Deflation is a mechanism crucial to eolian weathering, stripping fine particles and leaving behind larger, well-sorted sediments, because it alters the particle size distribution in forming surface layer sediment. Therefore, deflation sorting develops, rather than clay enrichment from illuviation caused by eluviation.
