← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when a desert pavement experiences prolonged aeolian sorting?
A)Progressive land subsidence results
B)Formation of desert deflation hollows✓
C)Enhanced alluvial fan development
D)Increased rate of chemical weathering
💡 Explanation
Desert deflation hollows form because particle removal preferentially erodes finer sediments, creating a basin through deflation. Therefore, hollows form rather than subsidence, which is related to substrate compression, or alluvial fans, which depositional features from water flow.
