Which landscape outcome is accelerated when overgrazing weakens soil structure?

💡 Explanation

Increased desert pavement results from deflation; wind action removes fine particles because the soil structure, weakened by overgrazing, makes sediments more susceptible to wind erosion. Therefore desert pavement increases, rather than weathering patterns being altered.
