← GeographyWhich geological outcome results when sustained, unidirectional winds selectively erode fine sediments?
A)Formation of desert pavement surfaces✓
B)Development of extensive loess deposits
C)Creation of large-scale dune fields
D)Generation of stratified glacial till
💡 Explanation
Desert pavement occurs because deflation preferentially removes fine particles, concentrating larger pebbles; therefore it creates a dense, interlocking surface rather than accumulating transported sediment as loess, dunes, or glacial deposits.
