With constant wind shear, which outcome destabilizes parabolic dune formations?

A)Vegetation establishment on trailing arms
B)Decreased sand supply downdrift
C)Cementation from moisture evaporation
D)Lithification into sedimentary sandstone

💡 Explanation

Anchoring by vegetation promotes stabilization because root systems bind sand, therefore inhibiting dune migration; rather than resulting in decreased supply or lithification. Increased vegetation cover disrupts Aeolian Saltation, locally halting sand transport.
