Which geographical outcome occurs when sparsely vegetated alluvial plains experience rain shadow induced aridification?

💡 Explanation

Basin formation results because wind erosion, specifically deflation, removes fine sediments. The lack of moisture means vegetation can't bind the soil, therefore small particles are scoured away, rather than canyon carving or chemical weathering, because there is very little surface water flow.
