← GeographyWhich outcome results when wind deflation concentrates desert surface lag deposits?
A)Formation of desert pavement surfaces✓
B)Increased formation of parabolic dunes
C)Higher salt weathering of rocks
D)Accelerated aeolian transport long distances
💡 Explanation
Desert pavement forms via deflation removing fine sediments, because selective erosion leaves behind a tightly fitted mosaic of larger pebbles; therefore, a protective layer develops, slowing future erosion, rather than accelerating dune formation or sediment transport.
