← GeographyWhich topographic outcome results when aeolian deflation dominates?
A)Formation of desert pavement✓
B)Increased sand dune stabilization
C)Accelerated loess deposition phases
D)Amplified ventifact abrasion rates
💡 Explanation
Desert pavement develops because aeolian deflation removes fine particles leaving behind larger rocks; therefore, a lag deposit forms due to the selective removal of smaller sediments, rather than dune stabilization or loess deposition.
