← GeographyWhich outcome commonly accompanies desert surface deflation when fine sediments outcrop?
A)Formation of desert pavement (reg)✓
B)Increased soil horizon development
C)Decreased surface albedo values
D)Enhanced rates of chemical weathering
💡 Explanation
Desert pavement forms from deflation because wind removes fine particles, leading to a concentration of larger rocks and pebbles over time. Therefore, the surface becomes armored with reg, rather than fertile soil or weathering, due to winnowing.
