Which consequence results when increased wind shear accelerates deflation in deserts?

A)Development of desert pavement (reg)
B)Formation of transverse sand dunes
C)Increased rate of loess deposition
D)Stabilization of ephemeral stream channels

💡 Explanation

Desert pavement forms because deflation removes fine particles via aerodynamic entrainment, leaving behind larger rocks and pebbles; therefore, the reg develops rather than dunes, loess deposition increase, or channel stabilization, which require sediment deposition.
