← GeographyWhich landscape outcome increases surrounding sediment armoring with increased regional deflation?
A)Desert pavement stabilization✓
B)Loess deposit migration
C)Longitudinal dune accumulation
D)Barchan dune field expansion
💡 Explanation
Desert pavement forms due to deflation, preferentially removing fine particles, because coarser particles aggregate protecting the underlying soil through armoring; therefore, surface stabilization increases, rather than leading to further dune formation or loess migration through the **deflation** process.
