← GeographyWhich outcome accelerates desert pavement formation on slopes?
A)Differential erosional removal of fines✓
B)Increased rates of oxidation reactions
C)Expanded surface salt crystal growth
D)Elevated soil organic matter decay
💡 Explanation
Desert pavement forms via deflation; differential erosion removes fine particles more readily on slopes; therefore, larger rocks concentrate because surface runoff amplifies this removal, rather than oxidation affecting all particle sizes similarly.
