Which outcome results when intense, prolonged wind erosion accelerates deflation?

💡 Explanation

Extensive wind erosion carries away finer particles, resulting in desert pavement because deflation concentrates larger rocks at the surface preventing soil formation; therefore, desert pavement dominates, rather than finer sediment accumulation or weathering changes.
