Which outcome dominates when sand supply decreases substantially in dune fields?

A)Longitudinal dune ridge stabilization
B)Parabolic dune blowout formation
C)Barchan dune crest coalescence
D)Transverse dune slipface progradation

💡 Explanation

Blowout formation dominates due to decreased sand supply; lowered sediment availability intensifies erosional processes like deflation because wind removes the limited sand available, therefore parabolic dunes form rather than expansion, which needs more sand.
