← GeographyWhich outcome commonly results from prolonged aeolian abrasion?
A)Formation of desert pavement (reg)✓
B)Increased chemical weathering rates
C)Elevation of the water table
D)Stabilization of dune migration
💡 Explanation
Desert pavement forms because consistent deflation removes finer particles via wind erosion, leaving behind larger rocks; therefore, surface reg develops directly in deflationary environments, rather than increasing weathering or hydration because the removal process dictates surface outcomes.
