← GeographyWhich action promotes dune stabilization in arid regions?
A)Vegetation's root system binds sand✓
B)Intense grazing collapses the dune
C)Flash flooding erodes dune masses
D)Seismic activity deforms dune strata
💡 Explanation
Planting vegetation causes dune stabilization because the root cohesion mechanism binds sand particles together, therefore resisting wind erosion, rather than destabilizing via grazing, flooding, or earthquakes, which weaken the dunes.
