Which 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.
