← GeographyWhich outcome increases as differential deflation lowers elevation?
A)Progressive desert pavement formation✓
B)Accelerated chemical weathering rates
C)Increased glacial ice accumulation
D)Decreased groundwater recharge rates
💡 Explanation
Desert pavement forms as deflation removes fine particles, concentrating larger rocks; because lower elevation means prolonged exposure to wind and less protection, desert pavement formation accelerates by continued deflation, rather than those which rely on liquid water or ice.
