Which outcome occurs when wind exceeds saltation threshold?

💡 Explanation

Dune crest destabilization occurs with exceeding shear stress due to increased wind. Grain avalanches initiate through grain-flow, because the angle of repose is exceeded, therefore crest features erode rather than maintain form due to saltation impact thresholds.
