10. My Choice!

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 ...
