Sand dunes at the ocean are formed through the processes of wind and wave action. Wind transports loose sand from beaches, accumulating it in piles as it encounters obstacles like vegetation or rock formations. Over time, these sand deposits grow into dunes, shaped by the prevailing wind direction. Additionally, wave action can contribute by eroding nearby land and depositing sand onto the beach, further supplying material for dune formation.
You can not prevent sand dunes anywhere,
I believe sand dunes are mechanical.
Small hills of sand made by the wind in a desert are called sand dunes.
Sand dunes are fragile because they are made up of loose particles that are easily shifted by wind and water. Human activities, such as trampling, off-road vehicles, and development, can disrupt the stability of sand dunes and lead to their degradation. Once the protective vegetation cover is removed, sand dunes become vulnerable to erosion and can lose their characteristic features.

Huge piles of sand are called sand dunes. Sand dunes typically form in deserts or coastal areas where there are strong winds that shape and move the sand into these large structures.
There are only two sand dunes in Michigan. The two sand dunes are Sleeping Bear Dunes and Sliver lake sand dunes.
