The wind blows perpendicular to the crest of a transverse dune, causing sand to accumulate on the windward side and erode on the leeward side, shaping the dune into a characteristic elongated ridge.

Do windmills blow?

No. Windmills have their blades angled in such a way as to catch moving air or wind. When the wind hits the blades it pushes them and they spin, which then gets other gears of the windmill turning, which then generate energy for whatever it is they need that energy to do. So the windmills themselves do not make wind or "blow".
