Which ventifact outcome intensifies when desert pavement subsides?

A)Increased undercutting of windward side
B)Enhanced chemical weathering deposition
C)Reduced abrasion due to deflation
D)Formation of clay mineral coatings

💡 Explanation

Increased undercutting arises from sandblasting near new ground level during subsidence. The increased exposure causes amplified aeolian abrasion because deflation lowers surrounding ground, exposing more area to wind erosion, therefore focusing abrasive action, rather than diminishing its effect.
