Desert sand dunes :)
Sand dunes are not formed by the process of erosion, they are formed by the process of aeolian deposition.
The movement of sand by short jumps and bounces that is caused by wind is called deflation. This is considered to be a form of erosion.
Desert erosion is mainly caused by grains of sand carried on the wind - acting like sandpaper against rocks.
Sand is shaped into sand dunes.
by elevation within the environment as well as nature itself
Three landforms created by wind erosion and deposition are Dunes, Deflatation Hollows, and Desert Pavement.

sand dunes are caused by deposition . some people think its caused by erosion , but erosion is the braking down of land formations. sand dunes are caused by strong winds pushing sand grains into piles.
Sand dunes are not formed by the process of erosion, they are formed by the process of aeolian deposition.
A desert blowout could be an area devoid of sand between dunes. An area that is subject to severe wind erosion.
Sand dunes are likely to be in a desert

wind erosion creates sand dunes
There is no limit to the number of sand dunes in any particular desert.
Wind moving sand causes dunes, both in the desert and at the beach.
