← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when transverse dune migration ceases?
A)Stratified deflation pavement emerges✓
B)Loess sediment deposition intensifies
C)Linear dune ridges are established
D)Active ventifact creation diminishes
💡 Explanation
Stratified deflation pavement emerges because the continued removal of sand particles from the migrating dune surface leaves behind larger particles. These create a protective layer that prevents further erosion, therefore halting the dune’s movement rather than resulting in loess deposition.
