How does wind cause sand to ripple in the desert?

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.
