← GeographyWhich feature predominates when dune migration encounters moisture gradient?
A)Parabolic dune formation✓
B)Increased barchan migration
C)Longitudinal dune stabilization
D)Transverse dune development
💡 Explanation
Parabolic dunes form because vegetation colonizes the humid areas, anchoring portions while dry zones erode via deflation; therefore arms trail windward, rather than the slip face advancing uniformly as in barchans affected by wind alone.
