Which landscape change results when prolonged aeolian deflation occurs in semi-arid grasslands?

💡 Explanation

A desert pavement forms because deflation selectively removes fine particles, leaving behind larger rocks, therefore creating a reg. This occurs due to wind erosion, rather than formation of loess, which requires a deposition mechanism downstream of the source area.
