Which outcome occurs when regional overgrazing increases soil deflation?

💡 Explanation

Desert pavement formation occurs following overgrazing and subsequent soil deflation, because finer particles are removed by aeolian processes exposing larger rocks; therefore, a resistant surface remains, rather than carbon sequestration or decreased dust because the soil's integrity is worsened.
