Which consequence results when increased wind shear accelerates deflation in deserts?

💡 Explanation

Desert pavement forms because deflation removes fine particles via aerodynamic entrainment, leaving behind larger rocks and pebbles; therefore, the reg develops rather than dunes, loess deposition increase, or channel stabilization, which require sediment deposition.
