← GeographyWhich consequence results when deflation concentrates desert varnish?
A)Armored desert pavement formation occurs✓
B)Increased chemical weathering of parent rock
C)Dissolution rate increases in sandstone
D)Enhanced soil aggregation process begins
💡 Explanation
An armored desert pavement forms through deflation removing fine particles and concentrating larger rocks coated in desert varnish; because deflation leaves the heavier varnished rocks, it creates a protective layer, rather than affecting weathering or dissolution; therefore desert pavement, rather than other options.
