After prolonged drought, which topographical consequence develops because of aeolian deflation?

💡 Explanation

Lag deposits form because wind deflation winnows away fine particles, leaving behind larger rocks and gravel; this forms desert pavement. The result is surface armouring, therefore protecting the underlying sediment rather than processes affecting shifting dunes, stabilization or yardang formation.
