Which geological outcome results when sustained, unidirectional winds selectively erode fine sediments?

💡 Explanation

Desert pavement occurs because deflation preferentially removes fine particles, concentrating larger pebbles; therefore it creates a dense, interlocking surface rather than accumulating transported sediment as loess, dunes, or glacial deposits.

• Which outcome accelerates gully formation on alluvial fans?
• Which feature results when ice mass wanes inside a cirque?
• Which landform primarily results when wind deflation lifts fine particles?
• Which consequence results when eustatic sea-level rise breaches barrier island dunes?
• Which outcome disproportionately amplifies tsunami risk when basaltic lava flows enter coastal regions?
• Which primary volcanic outcome from coastal subduction increases tsunami risk?
