How did Colorado get its shape?
Colorado was shaped primarily by volcanic activity and severe erosion of land formations by wind and water. A great part of the state was once a seabed. The wind formed the shape of the Great Plains and Sand Dunes. The Rockies and other rock formations were once much larger, the result of the Great Divide and other movements in the plates, and were worn into their current shape and size by wind and water. If you mean the state boundary, Colorado was one of the states thrown into the Union to equal sides out and the shape mostly has to do with political boundaries and the shapes of the older states and territories owned by other countries.
What and where are the biggest sand dunes in the world?
There are three contenders for the title of the world's highest sand dune, and it depends upon the context - whether one means the highest in actual sand dune size, or the highest above sea level.According to some sources, the world's highest sand dune is the Cerro Blanco dune in the Sechura Desert, Nazca, Peru. However, according to the Namibian Ministry of Environment & Tourism, the highest dune in the world is called Big Daddy, or Dune 7, and is one of the Sossusvlei dunes in the Namib Desert. However, according to the website link below (Duneguide), the highest sand dune may well be the humble Mt Tempest on Moreton Island, just off the coast of southern Queensland, Australia. The second largest sand mass in the world, Mt Tempest reaches 280m above sea level, and it is all sand.
