← GeographyWhich consequence results when eolian transport exceeds deposition?
A)Formation of desert pavement occurs✓
B)Loess deposition increases dramatically
C)Barchan dune migration accelerates rapidly
D)Ventifact abrasion rates sharply decrease
💡 Explanation
Desert pavement forms during deflation because the finer particles are removed, exposing larger rocks and creating a hard surface; therefore pavement appears rather than increased dune formations because deposition lags transport.
