The leeward or downwind side is known as the slipface.

Is more steeply sloped than the windward side
A sand dune that got blown away
The upwind direction of a sand dune has a gentle slope. A steep slope is on the downwind side. The pronounced slope of a sand dune is called a slip face. Sand erodes from the wind off the slip face. To learn more about sand dunes, visit http://www.tulane.edu/~sanelson/geol111/deserts.htm.
The side of a sand dune facing the ocean is called leeward.
role in formation of sand dunes (in sand dune: Formation and growth of dunes)...sand brought up the windward slope. When this depositional slope is steepened to the angle of repose of dry sand (about 32°), this angle is maintained and the added sand slips down the slope or slip face. When this happens, the dune form is in equilibrium, and the dune moves forward as a whole, sand being eroded from the windward side and deposited on the lee.
The tallest sand dune is in Great Sand Dunes National Park in south-central Colorado. It reaches about 750 feet above the San Luis Valley floor.
windward side
A sand dune that got blown away
Its being blown and carried away by wind through the process of deflation.
the top of a sand dune is called the crest of the dune.
A hill of sand in a desert is normally referred to as a dune
A sand dune is a landform, not a climate.
A mound of sand formed by wind blowing and moving the sand is called a sand drift. Sand drifts are common along the sea and the desert.
A sand dune is a pile of wind-blown sand.
A sand dune is the deposition of windblown sand.
The wind deposits large loose amounts of sand to create sand dunes. The wind pushes sand up one side. That sand will move over the edge of the dune's top. The sand will pile up up until gravity pulls it down and this creates a steeper slope than the one that faces the wind.
A sand dune is a Constructive force.
That would be sand dunes
