Which outcome occurs more readily from deflation when soil cementing agents are reduced?

💡 Explanation

Increased desert pavement occurs because reduced cementing agents enhance the aeolian process of deflation, winnowing away fine particles therefore concentrating larger rocks; rather than dune stabilization, ventifact creation, or alluvial deposition which involve depositional processes.
