Which outcome results from beach sand being trapped inland in vegetation?

💡 Explanation

Parabolic dunes form because vegetation slows the wind, allowing deposition and development of dune arms pointing upwind; therefore, dunes will extend inland, rather than shoreline erosion increasing because the trapping does not change wave energy.

• Which outcome accelerates leaching by rainfall in loess deposits?
• Which outcome occurs when karst system pH increases?
• Which risk occurs when deflation exceeds deposition near coastal dunes?
• Which mechanism explains stalactite formation in karst caves?
• After heavy rainfall, which risk increases as dissolution widens limestone fissures?
