← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when land experiences significant deflation?
A)Formation goafland and desert pavement✓
B)Increased soil carbon sequestration rates
C)Enhanced groundwater aquifer recharge
D)Elevation decreased of river drainage
💡 Explanation
Land deflation, by wind erosion, causes smaller particles to be removed, leading to remaining coarser materials at the surface; this process exposes bedrock to form desert pavements. Therefore goafland forms, rather than the increased carbon rate, because wind removes organic matter faster.
