Which outcome results from intensive 'deflation' processes in desert environments?

💡 Explanation

Desert pavement forms via 'deflation,' where wind erosion removes fine particles, leaving larger rocks; because finer sediments are removed, a tightly packed surface develops which resists further erosion, therefore inhibiting soil development rather than aiding it.

• Which process limits the nutrient supply to surface layers in a stable subtropical gyre's center?
• Which process initiates the stratification of fjord waters during spring ice melt?
• Which process drives headwall erosion during cirque glacier formation in alpine regions?
• Which outcome results following increased deposition in river meander?
• Which process predominantly facilitates transfer of nutrients required in surface waters by phytoplankton during coastal upwelling events?
