Which outcome results when intense 'deflation' affects alluvial plains?

💡 Explanation

Desert pavement forms through deflation because the mechanism of selective removal by wind preferentially carries away finer particles like silt and sand, therefore only larger rocks remain, rather than sediment deposition or dune stabilization.

• Which mechanism determines the rate of sediment subduction along an accretionary wedge?
• Which mechanism causes building foundation liquefaction during seismic activity in coastal areas?
• Which topographic outcome occurs when oceanic crust subducts?
• Which risk increases when rapid groundwater removal lowers pore pressure in soluble bedrock integrated with populated regions?
• Which effect occurs in coastal aquifers when excessive groundwater extraction lowers the water table?
• Which process accelerates cave network formation in fractured limestone?
