Which outcome accelerates desert pavement formation on slopes?

💡 Explanation

Desert pavement forms via deflation; differential erosion removes fine particles more readily on slopes; therefore, larger rocks concentrate because surface runoff amplifies this removal, rather than oxidation affecting all particle sizes similarly.
