Desert
pavement is created as a result of deflation. Desert
pavement is formed by the process of deflation. Normally, small and fine
fragments are carried by wind since they are light in weight as the larger
compact particles are left behind. What remains is rocky, compact, and not
easily eroded, and it is what is commonly referred to as the desert pavement.
Answer:
mechanical weathering
Explanation:
As a definition, mechanical weathering is the disintegration and decomposition of rocks on or on the earth's surface produced by different atmospheric, climatic and biological agents.
Weathering is a permanent process in nature.
It is also defined as a static process by which the rock breaks into small fragments, dissolving and decomposing to form new minerals. This is the way in which the removal and transport of detritus then results in erosion. It follows that weathering, by reducing the consistency of the stone masses leads to the erosion process.
The causative agents of the weathering of the stones, (external geological agents) can be physical (mechanical), chemical and biological.
Tropical climates and rainforests are found near the equator
