Which surface change develops because localized airflow consistently removes fine sediment?

💡 Explanation

A desert pavement forms where deflation by wind action removes fine particles, leaving behind larger rocks; because this lowers the surface, a desert pavement (reg) therefore results, rather than playa formation or permafrost changes influenced by hydrology or temperature.
