← GeographyWhich landscape outcome characterizes areas undergoing increased deflation?
A)Formation of desert pavement (reg)✓
B)Increased loess sediment accumulation
C)Accelerated dune migration upslope
D)Cryoturbation driven patterned ground
💡 Explanation
The formation of desert pavement occurs due to deflation removing fine particles, because differential erosion leaves larger rocks behind, therefore desert pavement forms, rather than dune formation which requires more sediment input availability than ventifact polishing on rock outcrops.
