← GeographyWhich outcome on coastal dunes results when vegetation removal exceeds sand supply replenishment?
A)Increased dune migration and destabilization✓
B)Enhanced freshwater lens formation inland
C)Decreased coastal erosion from storms
D)Greater sediment accumulation at shore
💡 Explanation
Increased dune migration and destabilization occurs because vegetation normally anchors dunes; therefore, vegetation removal triggers deflation, which reduces the friction holding sand, rather than reinforcing stability; increased plant growth prevents sand movement instead.
