← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when winds encounter transverse dunes?
A)Dune migration into a slipface✓
B)Abrasion increases ventifact formation
C)Loess deposition is minimally impacted
D)Deflation reduces alluvial fan deposit
💡 Explanation
Transverse dunes impede airflow, causing sediment deposition downslope due to saltation; therefore, the dune migrates because the slipface advances as sand accumulates, rather than other processes associated with deflation, abrasion,or loess deposits dominating.
