Description: Demonstration which shows the effects of wind erosion.
Hawai'i Space Grant Consortium, Hawai'i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology, University of Hawai'i, 1996 To observe the effects of wind erosion on sand. Deserts and sandy coastlines are affected by wind that picks up and moves the fine sand and smaller particles. When wind-blown sand hits an obstacle, the sand can pile up into a mound or ridge called a dune. Dunes can also be moved, grain by grain, by the wind. What can be done when dunes threaten buildings?
