← GeographyWhich outcome results from exceeding cohesion limits during aeolian deflation?
A)Reduced sediment transport distances
B)Formation of a deflation hollow✓
C)Increased ventifact surface pitting
D)Stabilization of desert pavement layers
💡 Explanation
A deflation hollow will form because the aerodynamic lift overcomes particle gravity and cohesion, therefore, extensive erosion occurs rather than pavement stabilization or localized effects because the area experiences continued particle removal impacting adjacent loose material.
