Which outcome increases as Aeolian transport weakens, causing dune crest failures?

A)Decreased vegetation stabilization rate
B)Increased leeward slope avalanches
C)Higher sediment saltation threshold
D)Growth of transverse dune volume

💡 Explanation

Increased leeward avalanches occur because the angle of repose is exceeded due to decreased wind removing sand, which results in gravitational settling exceeding deposition via Aeolian Transport. Therefore, the slope destabilizes rather than stabilizing as vegetation cover increases.
