Moving dunes is what is in my book...
Sand dunes are cause by the movement of sand by the wind or water.
Sand dunes in every desert are in almost constant movement. They are simply hills of sand and the wind changes them easily and often.
The wind causes movement
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.
There are only two sand dunes in Michigan. The two sand dunes are Sleeping Bear Dunes and Sliver lake sand dunes.
The movement of dunes is called "saltation," where sand grains are bounced along the surface of the dune by the wind. This process is essential for dune formation and growth.

Three effective ways to slow down the movement of sand dunes include planting vegetation, which stabilizes the sand with root systems; using barriers like fences or walls to block wind and reduce sand movement; and applying moisture or mulch to the surface to increase cohesion among sand particles. These methods help to create a more stable environment, preventing the dunes from encroaching on nearby land.
Hills of windblown sand, also known as sand dunes, are formed by the accumulation of sand particles carried by the wind. These dunes can vary in size and shape, with the movement of sand being influenced by factors such as wind direction and speed. Sand dunes play important roles in coastal protection and ecosystem dynamics.
Suspension, which is responsible for moving 1% of all sand to the sand dunes Impart creep, which is responsible for 4% movement of all sand dune Saltation, moves intermediate grains
Plants, such as trees and bushes, can stabilize a sand dune and slow or limited its growth and movement.
