← GeographyWhich landscape change results when deflation exposes bedrock?
A)Formation of a desert pavement✓
B)Increased loess sediment deposition
C)Enhanced dune stabilization rate
D)Accelerated chemical weathering horizon
💡 Explanation
Desert pavement forms due to deflation removing fine particles, leaving larger rocks behind; this is the process of winnowing. Because the area is armored by pebbles, further deflation is reduced, therefore it creates pavement rather than deposition or weathering.
