← GeographyWhich outcome arises when strong katabatic winds erode topographic obstructions in glacial valleys?
A)Formation of transverse dune fields✓
B)Development of patterned ground
C)Accelerated chemical weathering effect
D)Increased coastal upwelling cycles
💡 Explanation
Transverse dune formation occurs because reduced turbulent resistance causes increased wind velocity which transports sand particles; therefore, migrating dunes appear rather than patterned ground effects associated with freeze-thaw cycles.
