Sand storms and wind
What force of nature effects sand dunes?
wind erosion creates sand dunes
Why is there salt dunes in the dead sea?
because, the dead sea gets it's name from the high amounts of salt to water content, when this high salt content water washes up on shores, it creates salt dunes
Do sand dunes change earth's surface?
Yes because it creates a mound in the earth and takes away sand from the oceans ground.
What process were involved in creating dune's?
Dunes are formed through a combination of wind erosion and deposition. Wind erodes loose sand from the surface, transporting it and depositing it when the wind speed decreases or encounters an obstacle. Over time, this accumulation of sand creates distinct shapes, such as crescent-shaped barchan dunes or linear dunes. Vegetation and moisture can also play a role in stabilizing dunes and influencing their formation.
How are dunes affected by the great lakes?
The Great lakes effect the dunes in many ways. One of the ways the great lakes effect the dunes is by simply being great bodies of fresh water filling in the gaps between the dunes. If there were not a lake there wouldn't be a sand dune. Also the wind that the lake creates moves/pushes up the sand. The great lakes can also affect them in ways that are not so good. Like, if there were no marram grass... then the lakes would effect the dunes and the dunes would pretty much crumble and fall apart right under your feet.
What natural phenomena creates sand dunes?
Wind erosion of rocks create sand grains. The wind blows these grains along until some of the grains gather in a sheltered spot. It is here that the accumulating sand grains begin to form the dunes. As more sand is blown up the dune and over the crest, so the dune appears to be slowly moving forward, down wind. It is why these fresh sand dunes are known a mobile dunes.
What kind of dunes are there?
Seif dunes and star dunes in Algeria
How many sand dunes are in Michigan?

What different types of sand dunes would you find in a shore?
Fore dunes and back dunes but mostly fore dunes.
What creates the sand dunes in Namibia desert?
Wind actions, by deflation (upliftment, transportation and deposition of desert materials like sand and dust from one place to another).
What are huge piles of sand called?
Huge piles of sand are called sand dunes. Sand dunes typically form in deserts or coastal areas where there are strong winds that shape and move the sand into these large structures.
