Which outcome occurs in desert regions experiencing intense deflation?

💡 Explanation

Desert pavement (reg) forms when deflation selectively removes fine particles, leaving behind larger rocks; therefore, the surface becomes armored. This outcome arises because the wind's *selective entrainment* favors fine grains such as sand rather than gravel, forming reg rather than increasing loess deposition.
