Answer;
C. unchanged rock and mineral fragments
Explanation;
A large number of landforms and features found in desert environments are formed as the result of weathering. Weathering is defined as the breakdown and deposition of rocks by weather acting in situ
The two main types of weathering which occur in deserts are Mechanical weathering, which is the disintegration of a rock by mechanical forces that do not change the rock's chemical composition and Chemical weathering, which is the decomposition of a rock by the alteration of its chemical composition.
By contrast much of the weathered debris in deserts has resulted from mechanical weathering. Chemical weathering, however, is not completely absent in deserts. Over long time spans,clays and thin soils do form.
Ionic bonds are formed due to tendency of a metal to donate an electron and tendency of non metal to gain an electron.
