← GeographyWhich outcome accelerates desert pavement formation when flash floods occur?
A)Erosion through differential particle transport✓
B)Deposition via sediment cementation
C)Weathering by salt crystal growth
D)Hydration changes in clay minerals
💡 Explanation
Erosion occurs because differential particle transport removes finer sediments, exposing coarser material, therefore accelerating desert pavement development, rather than deposition and cementation which would stabilize newly exposed surfaces.
