← GeographyWhich landscape outcome occurs when intense wind deflation acts on unconsolidated sediments?
A)Formation of desert pavement✓
B)Increased chemical weathering rates
C)Development of braided stream patterns
D)Enhanced glacial ice accumulation
💡 Explanation
The deflation process gradually removes fine material, consolidating the residual coarser particles into desert pavement, because selective erosion removes finer grains; therefore the correct answer is pavement rather than weathering, streams, or ice accumulation.
