← GeographyWhich process concentrates heavier minerals via aeolian deflation?
A)Desert pavement formation✓
B)Loess aggradation enhancement
C)Sand dune stabilization
D)Ventifact abrasion increase
💡 Explanation
Desert pavement forms because the mechanical process of deflation removes fine particles, leaving heavier rocks; therefore, only the dense, larger material builds up, rather than a composite surface. Loess is from deposition and ventifacts from abrasion, not concentration.
