Which landscape change results when prolonged aeolian deflation occurs in semi-arid grasslands?

💡 Explanation

A desert pavement forms because deflation selectively removes fine particles, leaving behind larger rocks, therefore creating a reg. This occurs due to wind erosion, rather than formation of loess, which requires a deposition mechanism downstream of the source area.

• Which topographical outcome occurs when seasonal flooding deposits sediment atop an alluvial fan?
• Which consequence results when sediment accretion ceases along coastlines?
• Which consequence results when increased pore water pressure impacts fault lubrication?
• Which mechanism explains warmer temperatures alongside poleward-flowing ocean streams, such as the Gulf Stream?
• Which consequence resultes from decreased porosity inhibiting pedogenesis?
• Which depositional outcome characterizes a humid-climate alluvial fan?
