Which process accelerates the formation of desert pavement when wind intensity increases?

💡 Explanation

Increased wind causes desert pavement through aeolian abrasion, increasing surface deflation because abrasion mechanically breaks down the exposed rocks; therefore, finer sediments are removed, leaving a tightly packed surface, rather than chemical breakdown or biotic stabilization.
