Which outcome results from beach sand being trapped inland in vegetation?

💡 Explanation

Parabolic dunes form because vegetation slows the wind, allowing deposition and development of dune arms pointing upwind; therefore, dunes will extend inland, rather than shoreline erosion increasing because the trapping does not change wave energy.
