A deposit of windblown sand is called a sand dune. Sand dunes form when wind velocity decreases, causing sand particles to accumulate. They are commonly found in deserts and coastal regions.

Sand dunes are formed when wind velocity decreases and can no longer carry sand particles, causing them to accumulate in a specific area. Sand dunes are commonly found in deserts and coastal regions and can vary in shape and size.
For example, in Algeria, large areas of sand dunes can be observed, which are primarily composed of well-sorted sand, typically red in color.
The formation of sand dunes requires specific conditions: ample amounts of sand, consistent wind to transport and deposit the sand, and obstacles that help the sand particles accumulate.
