Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Desert pavement refers to the tightly packed layer of rocks and stones that cover the ground in arid regions. This layer forms due to a combination of natural weathering and erosion processes, along with the actions of wind and water. It can also help to prevent erosion and may be a protective layer for the soil beneath. Ventifacts are individual rocks that have been shaped by the wind, longitudinal dunes are long, narrow sand dunes, yardangs are streamlined ridges of rock carved by wind erosion, and barchan dunes are crescent-shaped sand dunes.
