What is a dune?
Dunes are accumulations of sand created by the wind.
Sand is carried by the wind and deposited in a different place.
Dunes are always in motion due to the wind.
They are often located in the lee of buildings or plants.
Nevertheless, they tend to form only on areas with less vegetation.
You often find them on the beach or in the desert.
