← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when desert pavement inhibits ventifact formation?
A)Ephemeral drainage network reduction
B)Loess deposition rate decreases✓
C)Dust storm frequency increases
D)Mechanical weathering becomes prominent
💡 Explanation
Decreased saltation abrasion reduces ventifacts presence; the resulting reduction also decreases the availability of silt and clay particles for transport by wind into loess deposits because wind abrasion is decreased and therefore loess deposition decelerates, rather than other mechanical weathering processes dominating or storm patterns changing.
