Which outcome results when intense, sustained winds cause prolonged deflation in arid, alluvial plains?

💡 Explanation

Desert pavement forms because deflation removes fine particles, leaving larger rocks behind, therefore creating a protective surface, rather than canyon formation by fluvial erosion, or intensified chemical weathering, dependent on moisture availability. Glacial erosion isn't related to wind deflation.
