Which outcome occurs when wind surpasses threshold for deflation?

💡 Explanation

Desert pavement forms because deflation selectively removes fine particles, leaving larger rocks; therefore, the coarse surface prevents further erosion. Rather than weathering or precipitation changes, only particle size sorting is relevant during deflation.
