Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Longitudinal dunes are formed in areas where there is a moderate sand supply and the wind direction is relatively consistent. They are long ridges of sand that are parallel to the prevailing wind direction. Barchan dunes are crescent-shaped dunes that form when winds blow sand in one direction. Transverse dunes are perpendicular to the wind direction and form in areas with a large sand supply, while parabolic dunes are also crescent-shaped but form when vegetation stabilizes the sand.
