The largest desert in California is the Mojave Desert.
The massive wind blown piles of sand are called sand dunes. This is when sands blow into a pile.
Sand dunes that are at right angles to the wind are called Transverse Dunes. They form with weak winds and an abundant supply of sand.
The wind influences the shape and size of a sand dune.
formed in deserts from deposits of eroded Sand
Suspension, which is responsible for moving 1% of all sand to the sand dunes
Impart creep, which is responsible for 4% movement of all sand dune
Saltation, moves intermediate grains
Endangered seabirds live in the dunes breeding their young. When people go in the dunes the scare the birds litter smash their eggs.
A sand dune will always move with the prevailing wind (downwind). It would not be able to move into the direction of the prevailing wind (upwind).
I believe sand dunes are mechanical.
