← GeographyWhich geological outcome occurs when sustained, unidirectional wind interacts with unconsolidated desert sediment?
A)Formation of deflation basins (blowouts)✓
B)Development of cuesta landforms
C)Deposition of glacial till
D)Creation of braided stream patterns
💡 Explanation
Deflation basins form due to wind Erosion removing fine sediment particles; this aeolian sorting creates a topographic depression because the wind removes loosely-bound material easily. Therefore "blowouts" result rather than depositional patterns because source sediment gets removed.
