← GeographyWhich dune type results when bimodal wind regimes restructure existing dunes?
A)Reversing dune crest stabilization✓
B)Parabolic dune vegetation loss
C)Barchan dune horn propagation
D)Transverse dune crest alignment
💡 Explanation
Reversing dunes form due to seasonally shifting winds. Migration halts because wind direction changes lead to complex airflow patterns preventing net sand transport. Therefore, the crest stabilizes rather than migrating like barchans; vegetation loss causes other parabolic formations instead.
