Which geomorphic effect results when rain shadow deserts experience increased aeolian deflation?

💡 Explanation

Desert pavement forms because smaller particles are removed, concentrating larger rocks; increased *deflation* scours the surface. Therefore, desert pavement is the answer rather than loess deposits or stream channels, because weathering and stabilization are not direct deflation outcomes.
