What can the size and shape of sand dune tell us?

The size and shape of a sand dune can provide information on the prevailing wind direction, the amount of sand available for transportation, and the stability of the dune. For example, elongated dunes often form parallel to the direction of the prevailing wind, while symmetrical dunes indicate consistent wind patterns from multiple directions. Additionally, the steepness of the dune can indicate the dune's stability and likelihood of movement.


Tell how snowdrifts and sand dunes are formed in similar ways. Then describe differences in how they are formed.?

Similar: Both are formed by wind. Different: Sand dunes are formed by deposition. Snowdrifts are formed by weathering. ++ They are both formed by deposition of a granular material by the wind.

What does weathering affect dunes?

Weathering can affect dunes by breaking down the sand particles into smaller grains, which can make them more susceptible to being blown away by wind. Weathering can also weaken the structure of dunes, making them more prone to erosion from waves and tides. Additionally, weathering can introduce new minerals into the sand composition, altering the dune's color and texture.
