Which outcome increases as differential deflation lowers elevation?

💡 Explanation

Desert pavement forms as deflation removes fine particles, concentrating larger rocks; because lower elevation means prolonged exposure to wind and less protection, desert pavement formation accelerates by continued deflation, rather than those which rely on liquid water or ice.
