Following repeated seasonal flash floods across alluvial fans in arid regions, which outcome directly results related to local aeolian processes?

💡 Explanation

Seasonal floods remove fine sediments, leaving coarser material; subsequent winnowing by wind causes deflation. Deflation hollow formation occurs because wind selectively erodes unconsolidated surface material, therefore deepening the depression, rather than deposition.
