← GeographyWhich landscape results when prolonged deflation lowers land?
A)Desert pavement forms directly.✓
B)Artesian aquifers recharge more slowly.
C)Cryovolcanism becomes more significant.
D)Haloclines diminish considerably.
💡 Explanation
Desert pavement emerges because deflation removes fine particles, leaving larger rocks; this process, desert pavement development, results in an armored surface. Therefore, the residue forms an armored cover rather than aquifer changes because water cycling depends on different variables.
