What results in the formation of desert pavement?
Desert pavement is formed when wind erosion removes finer particles of soil, leaving behind a layer of coarser particles such as sand, gravel, and pebbles. Over time, these larger particles become tightly packed and form a hard, erosion-resistant surface that resembles a natural pavement.
In desert areas what process results in the information of desert pavement?
The process that forms desert pavement is called deflation.
Could desert pavement be found in a forest?
Desert pavement would not occur in a forest as the roots of plants help stabilize the soil preventing the erosion that causes desert pavement..Desert pavement would not occur in a forest as the roots of plants help stabilize the soil preventing the erosion that causes desert pavement.
Does deposition result in the formation of desert pavement?
No, deflation results in the formation of desert pavement.
How does desert pavement move?
Desert pavement does not move unless it is carried away by a flash flood. However, the wind can remove sand surrounding the sand in desert pavement.
Is desert pavement cause by chemical weathering?
No, desert pavement is caused by wind which is physical weathering.
What is a gravel-covered plain in the desert?
