Which outcome occurs when loose sediment encounters persistent winds?

💡 Explanation

Desert pavements/REG form because wind selectively removes fine particles; this process is called deflation, leaving larger rocks behind. Therefore, REG develops rather than vegetation taking root, because the environment is too abrasive.
