← GeographyWhich outcome results from limited sediment supply during aeolian deflation?
A)Formation of desert pavement (reg)✓
B)Development of transverse dune fields
C)Extensive loess deposit accretion
D)Accelerated ventifact weathering rate
💡 Explanation
A desert pavement forms because deflation removes fine sediments, leaving larger rocks; this process of selective erosion results in reg, rather than loess deposition which requires abundant fine-grained material, therefore ventifact formation and dunes are not dominant.
