Which outcome results from sustained aeolian deflation in playas?

💡 Explanation

Desert pavement forms because aeolian deflation selectively removes fine particles. This process leaves behind coarser pebbles and rocks, which interlock. This prevents further surface erosion; therefore, pavement develops, rather than loess accumulation, which requires sediment transport.
