Which landscape outcome most directly results when wind erosion bypasses surface armoring?

💡 Explanation

Deflation basins are caused when wind removes fine particles from an area because surface armoring is absent preventing removal of smaller particles and thus landscape leveling. Therefore, deflation creates these basins, rather than stable dunes elsewhere.
