1 answer:

7 0

<span>1. The record is incomplete due to burial, erosion, etc.
2. Much, if not all, are metamorphosed
3. There are (for the most part) no fossils to help with depositional environments or age dating
4. Things worked differently in the Precambrian: limestones were formed different, dolomites may have been primary, detrital systems did not behave the same way (lack of meandering fluvial, for example), reduced atmosphere that enabled mobile Iron that made banded-iron formations, some igneous rocks only formed then and do not form today (i.e. kimberlites), etc</span>

Desert pavement is created as a result of A) abrasion. B)deflation. C)blowouts. D)water erosion

irga5000 [103]

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.
