Which outcome occurs when a desert pavement experiences prolonged aeolian sorting?

💡 Explanation

Desert deflation hollows form because particle removal preferentially erodes finer sediments, creating a basin through deflation. Therefore, hollows form rather than subsidence, which is related to substrate compression, or alluvial fans, which depositional features from water flow.

• Which outcome occurs when sediment supply overwhelms fluvial transport capacity at a mountain front?
• Which outcome is more likely when floodplain levees subside unevenly?
• Which outcome directly limits phytoplankton growth after an upwelling event during summer stratification?
• Which climatic effect results because mountain ranges force air masses upwards in many global climate regions?
• Which mechanism causes ventifact formation enhancement from airborne particles?
• Which fluvial outcome arises when stream competence decreases abruptly at a mountain front, affecting deposited sediment on alluvial fans?
