Which outcome occurs when intense evaporation causes deflation?

💡 Explanation

Desert pavement develops due to deflation, which is the wind erosion of fine particles; because the wind removes fine sediments, this leaves behind larger rocks creating a surface armor, therefore preventing further erosion rather than causing chemical weathering or glacial features.
