← GeographyWhich outcome results when intense, prolonged wind erosion accelerates deflation?
A)Widespread desert pavement formation✓
B)Increased chemical weathering rates
C)Decreased soil bioturbation potential
D)Enhanced alluvial fan development
💡 Explanation
Extensive wind erosion carries away finer particles, resulting in desert pavement because deflation concentrates larger rocks at the surface preventing soil formation; therefore, desert pavement dominates, rather than finer sediment accumulation or weathering changes.
