← GeographyWhich topographic change results when dust entrainment overwhelms surface deposition?
A)Formation of deflation basins✓
B)Stabilized loess deposit growth
C)Development of alluvial fans
D)Increased playa lake sedimentation
💡 Explanation
The formation of deflation basins occurs because aeolian deflation removes finer sediments leading to landscape lowering. Therefore, deflation hollows result, rather than loess or alluvial features, which require substantial deposition exceeding removal.
