← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when intense near-surface winds interact with alluvial plains?
A)Formation of desert pavement landscapes✓
B)Increased rates of chemical weathering
C)Glacier calving into proglacial lakes
D)Development of karst topography structures
💡 Explanation
Desert pavement forms because wind deflation winnows away fine sediments, leaving behind larger rocks. The 'desert pavement' is formed therefore, rather than chemical weathering or karst topography because deflation primarily impacts loosely consolidated sediment.
