Which pattern emerges when limited vegetation cover disrupts aeolian transport?

A)Parabolic dune formation upwind of vegetation
B)Barchan dune alignment towards wind source
C)Longitudinal dune stabilization parallel to wind
D)Transverse dune amalgamation creating increased erosion

💡 Explanation

Parabolic dunes form because vegetation anchors dune arms, hindering sand movement relative to the center during aeolian transport, therefore leading to a U-shaped dune concave upwind, rather than dunes dictated by wind direction.
