← GeographyWhich outcome results from surface deflation in playas?
A)Formation of desert pavement (reg)✓
B)Increased salt marsh development
C)Accelerated alluvial fan accretion
D)Enhanced biological soil crust stability
💡 Explanation
Desert pavement forms because deflation by wind removes fine sediments, leaving larger pebbles; therefore, this armor develops rather than increased marsh development, which needs constant water, or alluvial deposition, which needs water transport.
