1 answer

Deflation is the process that results in the formation of desert pavement in desert areas. During deflation, the wind carries away fine particles of sand and silt, leaving behind larger rocks and stones on the surface. Over time, these larger rocks and stones become tightly packed together to form desert pavement.
