← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when vegetation anchoring coastal dunes dies?
A)Increased dune migration inland.✓
B)Decreased sediment supply increases.
C)Formation of new beach terraces.
D)Reduced wave energy deposition.
💡 Explanation
Increased dune migration results from reduced root cohesion, because the anchoring vegetation's *root binding* mechanism fails, therefore mobile sand is transported further inland; rather than beach terraces forming, which require different forces involving longshore transport.
