← GeographyWhich geographic change results when prolonged anisotropic wind erodes desert pavement?
A)Development of laterally extensive loess deposits✓
B)Formation of deep, stratified alluvial fans
C)Creation of widespread evaporite accumulations
D)Increased formation of glacial moraine ridges
💡 Explanation
The erosion/removal allows finer sediments to be carried and deposited downwind, forming loess deposits, through aeolian transport rather than fluvial or glacial processes, because deflation wins. Therefore loess, rather than other formations, occurs.
