← GeographyWhich morphological result accelerates because uneven surface deflation concentrates wind energy?
A)Formation of desert pavement (reg)✓
B)Increased loess deposit uniformity
C)Reduced dust storm frequency
D)Stabilization of transverse dune fields
💡 Explanation
More deflation occurs around exposed gravel areas. The process of deflation winnowing then removes finer particles, which leads to formation of desert pavement, because larger resistant rocks hinder further wind erosion; therefore, pavement stabilizes, rather than dunes.
