← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when loose sediment encounters persistent winds?
A)Development concentrated desert pavements (REG)✓
B)Stabilization through vegetative root propagation
C)Formation of complex braided stream channels
D)Increase in chemical weathering process
💡 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.
