*** About Sand Dunes: Sand dunes are dynamic natural structures composed primarily of sand particles, which are shaped by the wind or sometimes by water flows. Commonly found in desert environments and near beaches, dunes play a critical role in protecting inland areas from coastal damage. They serve as natural barriers against the forces of wind and water. Over time, these formations can dramatically change in shape and location, continually reshaped by environmental forces. Dunes also provide a unique habitat for a variety of wildlife adapted to the challenging conditions of sandy, often arid landscapes.
