Which mineral enrichment results when desert deflation lowers elevation?

💡 Explanation

Heavy minerals accumulate because selective particle removal via deflation leaves larger dense materials; therefore, heavy minerals increasingly compose surface lag deposits, rather than smaller grains enriched by leaching or chemical weathering processes.
