← GeographyWhich large-scale outcome results because deflation surpasses deposition in a coastal dune system?
A)Development of a blowout✓
B)Decreased sediment transport
C)Formation of parabolic dunes
D)Higher beach vegetation density
💡 Explanation
The *deflation* mechanism occurs at a faster rate than sand deposition, resulting in the removal of surface sediments and the formation of a blowout because this creates a topographical low. Therefore, a blowout results, rather than growth or increased vegetation which requires sediment supply exceeding removal.
