Which consequence results following intense regional episodes of deflation?

A)Formation of desert pavement surfaces
B)Increased rates of chemical weathering
C)Enhanced soil horizon development locally
D)Stabilization of existing longitudinal dunes

💡 Explanation

Desert pavement forms because deflation progressively removes fine particles, therefore concentrating larger rocks on the surface, rather than leading to soil development. Mechanical sorting is the key mechanism. Accelerated weathering is less reliant on purely aeolian processes.
