Sand winning, or the extraction of sand from natural environments, is primarily driven by demand for construction materials, particularly for concrete and infrastructure development. Rapid urbanization and population growth contribute to increased construction activities, leading to higher sand consumption. Additionally, coastal and riverine sand extraction is often motivated by economic incentives, as sand is a valuable resource for various industries. However, unregulated sand winning can lead to environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity, and increased vulnerability to erosion and flooding.
Sand winning is the process of extracting sand from its natural environment, typically from beaches, rivers, or seabeds, for various industrial or construction purposes. This process involves using heavy machinery such as dredgers or excavators to remove the sand, which is then transported to processing plants for further refinement. Sand winning can have significant environmental impacts, including habitat destruction, erosion, and disruption of ecosystems, making it a highly regulated activity in many regions.

The wind causes movement
Scientificly, sand dunes were formed by chemical weathering.
glaciers
wind
Usually from people taking showers whilst covered in sand.
Loose sand sand and dirt are picked up by heavy winds.
Wind moving sand causes dunes, both in the desert and at the beach.

Undertow causes the sand to be removed from the beach and carried back out into the water.
