Which outcome results when persistent winds initiate deflation of poorly-vegetated playas?

💡 Explanation

Desert pavement results because deflation removes fine materials, leaving larger rocks; therefore, pavement concentrates surface rocks, making it a resistant layer, rather than promoting weathering or alluvial fans, which require depositional environments.
