Which outcome accelerates desert pavement formation when flash floods occur?

💡 Explanation

Erosion occurs because differential particle transport removes finer sediments, exposing coarser material, therefore accelerating desert pavement development, rather than deposition and cementation which would stabilize newly exposed surfaces.
