Which outcome occurs when localized wind shear increases overland?

💡 Explanation

Deflation involves removal of loose material under wind action; localized wind scour exceeding a threshold triggers particle lifting away from a surface because aerodynamic lift reduces resisting gravity, therefore deflation hollow formation occurs, rather than stabilization or other erosional patterns.
