← GeographyWhich phenomenon occurs when deflation removes fine sediment?
A)Formation of a desert pavement✓
B)Nutrient accumulation in fertile topsoil
C)Glaciation of high altitude plateaus
D)Accelerated chemical weathering of bedrock
💡 Explanation
The deflation mechanism causes smaller, unconsolidated materials to be removed by wind erosion, because only larger rocks like pebbles remain, therefore the surface becomes covered with closely packed rocks, rather than creating nutrient-rich layers.
