Which phenomenon maintains longitudinal dune alignment despite turbulent winds?

💡 Explanation

Longitudinal dunes align with a resultant wind direction because helical secondary flow creates parallel wind streams; therefore, alignment prevails rather than transverse migration caused by direct wind because transverse winds encounter stable helices.
