This part of a sand dune is characterized by a pronounced slope?

The steep face of a sand dune is called the slip face or the lee side. It is typically located on the leeward side of the dune where the wind direction forces the sand to accumulate in a steep slope. This portion of the dune is constantly shifting and changing due to the interaction of wind and sand movement.

Why does planting grass trees or shrubs help prevent dunes from covering roads?

The movement of dunes is called dune migration. If the wind usually blows from the same direction, dunes will move downwind. Dune migration occurs as sand is blown over the crest from the windward side and builds up the slipface. In mostly level areas, dunes migrate until they reach a barrier. To prevent dunes from drifting over highways and farm land, people often build fences or plant grasses, trees, and shrubs.
