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.
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.
D. deposition
Erosion and weathering both involve the breaking down of rocks and minerals on the Earth's surface. While weathering is the process that breaks down rocks into smaller particles, erosion is the movement and transportation of these particles by natural forces like water, wind, or ice. Essentially, weathering prepares the material for erosion to transport it away.
first the weathering happens which causes an erosion which makes deposition.
The main forms of weathering in the Sahara are exfoliation (due to expansion and contraction of rocks and rock particles), abrasion (mainly through the wind moving sand particles over each other and blowing sand grain against rocks) and finally water erosion - although not very common, flash flooding in areas can cause the movement and erosion of sand, rocks and stones.

Rock is far more resistant to weathering (erosion) than sand.

1. WEATHERING a. physical weathering/mechanical weathering b. chemical weathering 2. EROSION a. erosion by water b. erosion by wind c. erosion by ice/glaciers 3. MASS MOVEMENT a. landslide b. mudslide 4. TECTONIC PLATE MOVEMENT
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.
The wind is a part of weathering, and the wind blows the sand dunes' top layers of sand around every day.
