← GeographyWhich landscape outcome occurs with intensified arid region winds?
A)Development of desert pavement layers✓
B)Increased alluvial fan sedimentation
C)Formation of deeply incised canyons
D)Stabilization of pre-existing sand dunes
💡 Explanation
Desert pavement forms because the mechanism of deflation removes fine particles by wind action, therefore larger rocks concentrate at the surface, rather than sand dune stabilization dominating due to moisture availability in the area.
