Desert Pavements

Desert Pavements is a geomorphic surface feature characterized by a closely packed layer of coarse gravel fragments embedded in a matrix of finer sediments, formed through prolonged aeolian deflation and surface armoring that distinguishes it from other aeolian sedimentation patterns by its relative stability and clast-supported texture.
