Which geoemorphic outcome will result following extensive deflation in arid environments?

💡 Explanation

The formation of desert pavement occurs because winnowing by deflation removes fine particles, therefore leaving behind a surface covered with tightly packed larger pebbles and rock fragments; rather than increased loess deposition from transported fine sediment which implies distant deposition.
