← GeographyWhich outcome occurs more readily from deflation when soil cementing agents are reduced?
A)Increased desert pavement formation✓
B)Accelerated sand dune stabilization
C)Decreased ventifact weathering rates
D)Formation of alluvial fan deposits
💡 Explanation
Increased desert pavement occurs because reduced cementing agents enhance the aeolian process of deflation, winnowing away fine particles therefore concentrating larger rocks; rather than dune stabilization, ventifact creation, or alluvial deposition which involve depositional processes.
