Which landscape outcome increases surrounding sediment armoring with increased regional deflation?

💡 Explanation

Desert pavement forms due to deflation, preferentially removing fine particles, because coarser particles aggregate protecting the underlying soil through armoring; therefore, surface stabilization increases, rather than leading to further dune formation or loess migration through the **deflation** process.
