3. Here you have some activities:
- Match the shapes of the dunes with their shapes:
PARABOLIC DUNES / STAR DUNES / DOME DUNES / LINEAR DUNES
Crescentic dunes are shaped like crescents, or the shape of a wide letter C. The wide side of a crescentic dune is its windward side, with a small, semi-circular slip face on the other side. Crescentic dunes are the fastest-moving type of dune, and also the most common.
➢ ……………..form straight or nearly straight lines. Some ………….. are shaped like a wiggling snake, with regular curves. ………………develop where wind pressures are nearly equal on both sides of a dune.
➢ ………………have pointed ridges and slip faces on at least three sides. …………. develop where winds come from many different directions. The sand dunes of the Sahara Deserter ergs are ……………
➢ ……………….are the rarest type of dune. They are circular and do not have a slip face. The wind can blow material onto the dune from any side.
➢ ………………….are similar to crescentic dunes. Their shapes are roughly the same, but the slip face of a it its inwardside. ……………………. are also called blowouts, because windsblow out the center of the dune, leaving just a rim on the outside.

A collection of dunes is called a dunebeltordune field. A large dune field is called an erg. The Skeleton Coast Erg in Namibia extends 2-5 kilometers (1-3 miles) in length and across a width of 20 kilometers (12.7 miles).
