Which outcome occurs when wind exceeds threshold velocity?

💡 Explanation

Sand sheet formation occurs on impact of the **saltation** process when mobilized sand grains bombard the surface, because the increased wind speed lifts the sand; therefore, surface becomes covered instead of stabilization, rather than protecting through desert pavement .
