Which outcome is accelerated across exposed playa when subjected to extreme aridity?

💡 Explanation

Removal of fine particles by wind (deflation) concentrates surface stones, resulting in desert pavement because wind erosion carries away the silt and sand. Therefore, deflation creates desert pavement, rather than loess deposition governed by depositional processes.
