← GeographyWhich landform primarily results when wind deflation lifts fine particles?
A)Formation of a desert pavement✓
B)Development of a moraine field
C)Excavation of a volcanic caldera
D)Creation of an alluvial fan
💡 Explanation
A desert pavement will develop when wind action removes all the fine particles—deflation—leaving behind only larger rocks; because deflation lowers the surface selectively, concentrating heavier material, therefore creating 'desert pavement', rather than other deposit-focused geological systems.
