← GeographyWhich outcome results when intense offshore winds induce deflation?
A)Formation of extensive desert pavement terrains✓
B)Increased coastal mangrove forest sedimentation
C)Enhanced leaching of podzol soil horizons
D)Accelerated chemical weathering of limestone cliffs
💡 Explanation
Deflation, the removal of loose material by wind, leaves behind larger particles forming desert pavement, because strong winds winnow away sand and silt. Fine particles migrate away rather than forming mangroves; leaching and limestone erosion are driven rainfall, therefore wind action is not significant.
