← GeographyWhich landform results when wind deflation exposes bedrock?
A)Desert pavement (reg)✓
B)Longitudinal Sand Ridges
C)Barchan dunes formation
D)Loess sediment deposition
💡 Explanation
Deflation progressively lowers the surface as fine particles are removed by wind, eventually leaving behind a desert pavement; because wind abrasion exposes relatively immobile larger clasts, it halts further erosion rather than forming sand dunes or depositional features.
