Answer 1

In the photograph of a desert, the pattern that is typically recognized is horizontal lines in the sand dunes. These lines are formed by the natural shaping of the dunes due to wind and erosion. However, if the dunes have a more complex structure, one might also observe rows of curved lines that indicate the flow and undulation of the sand. Depending on the specific dunes, both horizontal lines and curved lines may be present.
