← GeographyWhich consequence accompanies increased clay barrier disintegration due to deflation?
A)Acceleration of desert pavement formation✓
B)Stabilization of existing dune systems
C)Decreased local aeolian sediment supply
D)Reduction in ventifact weathering rates
💡 Explanation
Accelerated desert pavement formation results because deflation winnows away fine sediments, resulting in a concentration of larger rocks consolidating close to each other at ground level. Because of the winnowing process, local sediment supply decreases, rather than promoting dune stabilization.
