Which outcome occurs when arid region dune crests thin?

A)Increased deflation, finer sediment transport
B)Reduced saltation, coarser grain settling
C)Downwind flow reduction, ventifact creation
D)Vegetation growth from moisture trapping

💡 Explanation

Increased deflation occurs because decreased crest stability enhances wind erosion by *Venturi effect*, thereby accelerating removal, transporting finer sediments further; therefore, wind scours previously armored surfaces, rather than trapping sediments on increased vegetation.
