Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Desert region

The correct answer is Desert region.

  • A barchan or barkhan dune is a crescent-shaped sand dune
    • Barchans face the wind, appearing convex, and are produced by wind action predominantly from one direction.
    • They are a very common landform in sandy deserts all over the world and are arc-shaped, markedly asymmetrical in cross-section, with a gentle slope facing toward the wind sand ridge,  comprising well-sorted sand.
