Which outcome results from surface deflation in playas?

💡 Explanation

Desert pavement forms because deflation by wind removes fine sediments, leaving larger pebbles; therefore, this armor develops rather than increased marsh development, which needs constant water, or alluvial deposition, which needs water transport.
