sand ridges
Wind-sculpted beach formations
Sand ridges are elongated mounds of sand formed by wind or water action, running parallel to the prevailing current or wind direction.
They appear in deserts, on beaches, and along coastlines, sometimes extending for miles.
Underwater sand ridges shape seafloors and can affect navigation in shallow waters.
