Generally , their heights vary from a few metres to 20m , but in some cases dunes are several hundred metres high and 5 to 8 km long .   The formation of sand dunes requires  • Wind of high velocity  • Abundant sand  • Obstacles such as trees , bushes , forests , rock outcrops , walls against , which dunes may settle  • Ideal places i.e. dune complex , dune colony or dune chain . Dunes formed due to obstacles like hushes , walls etc. are called nebkhas , where dune formed besides desert depressions are called lunettes.   Dunes are classified on the basis of morphology , structure , orientation , location , internal structure , ground pattern and number of slip faces . These are the various types of sand dunes  a) Transverse Dunes are dunes deposited transverse to the prevailing winds direct...
