Under what condition does a transverse dune form?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: अधिक रेत आपूर्ति और एक प्रमुख दिशा की हवा
The governing concept is aeolian deposition. A transverse dune develops where sand is plentiful and wind usually blows from one dominant direction. Wind pushes sand up the windward slope and deposits it on the leeward side, producing a ridge whose crest is broadly perpendicular to the prevailing wind. Little sand, highly variable winds, glacial melting, and karst solution do not create this dune type, so option B is correct.
