← GeographyWhich geological outcome results when wind deflation surpasses sediment replacement?
A)Extensive desert pavement formation✓
B)Rapid dune migration increase
C)Reduced soluble mineral concentration
D)Widespread loess deposit growth
💡 Explanation
Desert pavement occurs through deflation because fine particles are removed by wind, concentrating larger stones. Therefore, pavement develops rather than dune migration increasing, which depends on sediment supply and wind strength, or mineral reduction and loess accumulation, which depend on chemical processes.
