Which landscape feature forms because sustained aeolian deflation?

💡 Explanation

Desert pavement is formed by *deflation*, the removal of fine particles by the wind, because larger rocks are left behind, leading to surface armoring that resists future deflation. Therefore, reg landscapes form, rather than features resulting from glacial meltwater or river erosion.
