← GeographyWhich shift diminishes desert pavement when ephemeral stream flooding occurs?
A)Aggregate stability from argilluviation weakens✓
B)Vegetation cover prevents deflation processes
C)Evaporation rates cause clay cementation
D)Oxidation causes resistant rock formation
💡 Explanation
Aggregate stability from argilluviation weakens because clay particles crucial for binding aggregates are removed by leaching during flooding. Therefore, the desert pavement succumbs more easily erosion rather than persisting under deflation processes typical in deserts.
