Which geologic event is accelerated by the migration of transverse dunes?

💡 Explanation

Erosion of underlying rock increases due to the abrasive action from migrating dunes; this process is called aeolian abrasion. Because the consistent movement across a channel bed amplifies weathering, drainage incision happens faster rather than karst, glacial, or coastal geologic events.
