← GeographyWhich outcome is enhanced when arid deflation processes interact with eolian saltation?
A)Ventifact abrasion near desert pavements✓
B)Dune field stabilization by vegetation
C)Loess deposition during glacial maxima
D)Regolith freeze-thaw weathering reduction
💡 Explanation
Wind-driven grains sandblast exposed rocks because abrasive impact increases with wind speed causing ventifact abrasion which sculpts rocks; therefore abrasion intensifies rather than any deposition because limited water makes other processes slower.
