Barchan dunes are solitary crescent dunes formed on a flat, hard ground with limited supplies of sand and vegetation. Transverse dunes are a series of long ridges that are found in areas that have a lot of sand but sparse vegetation.

Dune types include A barchan B transverse C star Dall above?
D) all above barchan dunes are arc-shaped and are also known as crescentic. transverse dunes are perpendicular to the wind and are usually built upon already-existing sand mounds star dunes are radially symmetric pyramidal mounds.

What are transverse dunes?
Transverse dunes are sand dunes formed across the direction of the winds that prevail in a given area. This is the "normal" way dunes form when winds blow sand across open areas. A link can be found below for more information and to view images.

What Long sand ridges oriented at right angles to the wind are called dunes?
Sand dunes that are at right angles to the wind are called Transverse Dunes. They form with weak winds and an abundant supply of sand.
