Sand dunes are the most common form of wind deposit, and they constantly change and move as the wind erodes and reshapes them. Sand dunes are dynamic landforms that can migrate and shift direction over time due to the prevailing wind patterns.
Wind is a common erosional agent that can deposit hills of unsorted sediments called dunes. These dunes are often found in arid or coastal regions where wind can transport and deposit sand or silt to form distinct mound-like features.
A deposit of wind-blown sand is called a sand dune. Sand dunes form in deserts, beaches, and other areas where wind is able to transport and deposit sand grains.
A mound or ridge of sand formed by the wind is called a sand dune. Sand dunes are common in deserts and coastal areas where there is a good supply of sand and strong winds that can transport and deposit it. The shape and size of sand dunes can vary depending on wind direction and speed.
It's not possible to answer. Wind always flows from a high-pressure area to a low-pressure area. The direction of the wind where you are - will depend entirely on the location of the centre of the depression, relative to your position.

When the wind starts to slow down it starts to deposit sand or other sediment.
Lithogenous sediment is the most common neritic deposit because it is primarily derived from the erosion and weathering of rocks on land. These sediments are transported to the ocean by rivers and wind, accumulating in shallow continental shelf areas where neritic deposits are found. This continuous process of erosion and transportation ensures a steady supply of lithogenous sediment to neritic environments.
Imagine a landscape made almost entirely of sand. A sand dune is a deposit of wind-blown sand.
