← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when wind surpasses threshold for deflation?
A)Formation of desert pavement (reg)✓
B)Increased chemical weathering of rock
C)Development of oxbow lake features
D)Enhanced precipitation in leeward areas
💡 Explanation
Desert pavement forms because deflation selectively removes fine particles, leaving larger rocks; therefore, the coarse surface prevents further erosion. Rather than weathering or precipitation changes, only particle size sorting is relevant during deflation.
