Which phenomenon accelerates loess deposit armoring, reducing erosion?

💡 Explanation

Desert pavement development inhibits deflation because the surface becomes armored with tightly packed stones, therefore reducing further wind erosion on loess-derived soils, rather than increased transport or dune migration, which would instead expose further deposits.

• Which outcome occurs when localized bathymetric sills disturb upwelling?
• Which outcome increases as Aeolian transport weakens, causing dune crest failures?
• Which landform develops if glacier thaws within cirques?
• Which risk increases on steep volcanic slopes with substantial pyroclastic deposits?
• Which outcome occurs when prolonged aquifer depletion weakens strata?
• Which volcanic outcome increases when dissolved gases exceed solubility?
