Which outcome occurs when transverse dune migration ceases?

💡 Explanation

Stratified deflation pavement emerges because the continued removal of sand particles from the migrating dune surface leaves behind larger particles. These create a protective layer that prevents further erosion, therefore halting the dune’s movement rather than resulting in loess deposition.
