Detailed Solution

The Barchans are crescent-shaped dunes. The cornucopias of the crescent point downwind, signifying the side progress of the beach. The Barchans are convex facing the wind, with the cornucopias of the crescent pointing downwind and marking the side advancement of the beach. The cross-section of these stacks is noticeably asymmetrical, with a mild pitch towards the wind and an important steeper pitch, known as the slip face, facing down from the wind. Barchans are generally set up as clusters of insulated beach stacks.
