3. Erosion!

Erosion at the Sand Dunes!!!!

All of the sand at the dunes are considered sediment and there's erostion because these sediments are being moved. This is a GIANT place (as you can see from the photo of me standing on the dune) in Pismo, CA. I think that there may have been even bigger erosion in the past but there still is erosion that takes place now from the gravity and the wind. These photos are from last weekend. I've also been there on super windy days where you can see sand flying all around and it moves like crazy. I think on normal days the sediment doesn't move very far and stays within the dunes just moving around from hill to hill and creating different dunes maybe. Movement of sediment can travel even further thoguh with people who visit the dunes getting sand in their clothes and shoes and leaving with it. I think that this erosion has been happening for as long as the dunes have existed because they're tall hills and so there will always be sand that moves from the wind and gravity.
