Barchan dunes are crescent-shaped and relatively small compared to other types of dunes. Star dunes are typically much larger and have multiple arms extending in different directions. Longitudinal dunes are elongated in shape and oriented parallel to the prevailing wind direction. Seif dunes are linear in shape, also oriented parallel to the prevailing wind direction, and typically much larger than barchan dunes. Dome dunes are circular or oval in shape and do not have the crescentic morphology of barchan dunes.
