← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when a dune field encounters vegetation?
A)Dune stabilization via aeolian armoring✓
B)Increased crest migration accelerates deflation
C)Barchan horn slipface avalanche formation
D)Higher saltation rates through sand blasting
💡 Explanation
Dune stabilization results because vegetation traps sand, disrupting the airflow by way of Aeolian Armoring. Therefore, the dune stops migrating rather than accelerating deflation, because vegetation binds the surface particles.
