Which landform results when wind deflation exposes bedrock?

💡 Explanation

Deflation progressively lowers the surface as fine particles are removed by wind, eventually leaving behind a desert pavement; because wind abrasion exposes relatively immobile larger clasts, it halts further erosion rather than forming sand dunes or depositional features.
