Sand movement is erosion because it deals with the transportation of already weathered materials.

However it is worth noting that the movement of sand can also cause weathering as the moving sand particles can act as an abrasive causing mechanical weathering.

Is there Weathering or Erosion in Dubai if so where and how?

In Dubai, both weathering and erosion processes occur. Weathering can be observed in older buildings where the structures are worn down due to exposure to sunlight, wind, and sand over time. Erosion is commonly seen along the coastline where the action of waves and currents slowly shape the shoreline and sand dunes.

How did weathering erosion and deposition form coastal sand plains?

Coastal sand plains are formed by a combination of weathering, erosion, and deposition processes. Weathering breaks down rocks into sand particles, which are then carried by erosion (wind and water) to coastal areas. Deposition occurs as these sand particles settle and accumulate in flat areas along the coast, gradually forming sand plains over time.


How are sand dunes affected by weathering erosion and deposition?

The wind is a part of weathering, and the wind blows the sand dunes' top layers of sand around every day.
