Which phenomenon accelerates loess deposit armoring, reducing erosion?

💡 Explanation

Desert pavement development inhibits deflation because the surface becomes armored with tightly packed stones, therefore reducing further wind erosion on loess-derived soils, rather than increased transport or dune migration, which would instead expose further deposits.

• Which outcome increases erosion around groynes because of altered sediment transport?
• Which caldera-forming outcome significantly increases due to ignimbrite deposition?
• Which effect increases when silicate weathering accelerates during pedogenesis?
• Which seismic outcome increases along subduction zones due to friction overcoming stress limits?
• Which outcome results when crustal loading exceeds strength near a fault?
• Which outcome occurs when offshore winds consistently encounter coastal dunes?
