wind creates ripples in the sand
Wind is the primary factor for causing ripples in the surface of desert sand but water can also be an agent during the rainy season.
I'm pretty sure it's called a sidewinder snake.Might need to look it up.
Wind or sidewinder.
On the beach they are caused by waves pushing the sand up and pulling it down, or because of ghost shrimp. Ghost shrimp are small snail-like creatures that dig deep into the ground. At a desert the wind pushes, pulls, and blows the sand around causing different paterns.
Wind causes sand to ripple in the desert through a process called saltation, where grains of sand are lifted and carried by the wind before settling back down. As the wind direction and speed change, these sand grains accumulate in patterns, creating ripples and dunes. The size and shape of these ripples depend on factors like wind strength, grain size, and moisture content. Ultimately, the dynamic interaction between wind and sand shapes the unique landscape of desert environments.
A process called weathering
Wind actions, by deflation (upliftment, transportation and deposition of desert materials like sand and dust from one place to another).
These ripples are called waves. When an object is dropped or disturbance occurs in the water, it creates waves that propagate across the surface.
Sand, sand, and desert sand
A hill of sand in a desert is normally referred to as a dune
The Arabian Desert is the largest sand desert.
it is because of the waves as they decend on the beach in ripples
