Question
State three chief characteristics of barchans
Short Note
Solution
- Barchans are moon-shaped dunes. They are live dunes which advance steadily before winds that blow from a particular direction.
- They occur transversely to the wind so that their horns thin out and become lower in the direction of the wind.
- The windward side is convex and gently-sloping while the leeward side (being sheltered) is concave and steep.
