← GeographyWhich landscape formation occurs because vegetation removal destabilizes dunes?
A)Parabolic dune formation✓
B)Barchan dune stabilization
C)Seif dune consolidation
D)Longitudinal ridge development
💡 Explanation
Parabolic dunes form through deflation because the loss of vegetation cover triggers localized erosion by wind; therefore, 'blowouts' in the dune create the characteristic U-shaped form, rather than stabilized or linear shapes caused differently.
