Which 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.
