← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when intense evaporation causes deflation?
A)Development of desert pavement features✓
B)Increased chemical weathering rates
C)Formation of U-shaped glacial valleys
D)Decreased soil horizon development
💡 Explanation
Desert pavement develops due to deflation, which is the wind erosion of fine particles; because the wind removes fine sediments, this leaves behind larger rocks creating a surface armor, therefore preventing further erosion rather than causing chemical weathering or glacial features.
