What is a crescent-shaped sand dune called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Barchan
The correct answer is Barchan. A barchan is a crescent-shaped sand dune formed where wind generally blows from one dominant direction and sand supply is limited. Its curved horns usually point downwind, while the steeper slip face lies on the leeward side. A moraine is deposited by a glacier, a lagoon is a shallow water body separated from the sea, and a sea cliff is produced by marine erosion.
