← GeographyWhich risk increases when parabolic dunes migrate aggressively inland?
A)Loss of arable land✓
B)Decreased albedo effect
C)River course stabilization
D)Enhanced offshore fishery yield
💡 Explanation
Agricultural land becomes buried as dunes advance via saltation; active dune migration covers fertile soil because wind action transport moves sand grains causing crop and range land degradation, therefore arable land is lost due to burial, rather than albedo or aquatic conditions.
