A sand dune that forms scalloped rows of sand at right angles to the wind is known as a "barchan dune." These dunes typically develop in areas with limited sand supply and unidirectional winds. The wind shapes the dunes into crescent or crescent-like forms, with the horns of the dune pointing downwind. Barchan dunes can migrate over time as the wind continues to reshape them.


How do dunes migrate in the direction of the wind?

How could dune blowouts be prevented?

Dune blowouts can be prevented by planting vegetation such as grasses and shrubs that help stabilize the sand. Installing sand fences or other forms of barriers can also help trap sand and prevent it from blowing away. Limiting human activities that can disturb the dune ecosystem, such as driving off-road vehicles or building structures, can also help prevent dune blowouts.
