← GeographyWhich phenomenon accelerates dune migration during prolonged droughts?
A)Reduced vegetative anchoring effect✓
B)Increased bioturbation by fauna
C)Enhanced chemical weathering of grains
D)Greater capillary action in sediment
💡 Explanation
Drought causes vegetation to decrease; this results in a reduced vegetative anchoring effect, increasing sand availability. Therefore, dune migration accelerates, rather than other processes like chemical weathering or bioturbation playing significant roles under low moisture conditions because vegetation plays a key role.
