Which landscape outcome characterizes areas undergoing increased deflation?

💡 Explanation

The formation of desert pavement occurs due to deflation removing fine particles, because differential erosion leaves larger rocks behind, therefore desert pavement forms, rather than dune formation which requires more sediment input availability than ventifact polishing on rock outcrops.

• Which geologic change develops when surface abrasion by wind-driven particles exceed weathering?
• Which outcome results when elevated atmospheric CO2 dissolution increases?
• Which feedback occurs as formerly vegetated surfaces are converted to loess?
• Which outcome occurs when sediment input exceeds transport capacity in a fluvial system depositing material in radial pattern?
• Which process limits nutrient transport rates in stratified subtropical gyres containing a strong thermocline?
• Which feedback results when increased dissolution widens cave fractures?
