What are star dunes?
Sand dunes are formed on the coast when waves carry sand onto the shoreline and the wind blows it into drifts. The sand gets trapped on plants such as Sand Couch and Marram Grass and the embryo dunes start to grow. Marram Grass is one of the most important dune plants. It has long roots that grow down deeply in search of water. These roots help to hold the dunes together. Further inland the dunes are more stable and have lots of different plants, mosses and lichens growing on them. There can even be a very wet area. This is known as the 'dune slack' and rushes and reeds that like lots of water will grow here. Sand dunes are a very important habitat. They are also a popular place for people to visit. However they are very fragile environment and changes can take place quickly. To protect the dunes plants from being trampled too much, special wooden paths called 'boardwalks' are put down for people to walk on.

What are the Hoosier slide and Mt Baldy?
The Hoosier Slide is a popular sand dune located in Indiana Dunes National Park, known for its steep sandy slope that visitors can climb and slide down. Mt. Baldy is a sand dune located in Indiana Dunes National Park as well, and it is known for its unique bare peak due to natural erosion processes.
What is the relationship between deflation and dune movement?
Deflation refers to the removal of loose, fine-grained particles from the ground surface by wind, leading to a lowering of the land surface. This process can significantly influence dune movement, as the erosion of sand from one area can supply material that contributes to the formation and migration of dunes elsewhere. As deflation occurs, it can create depressions that serve as sources for wind-blown sand, facilitating the movement and reshaping of nearby dunes. Overall, deflation plays a crucial role in the dynamics of dune landscapes.
Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?
