Answer to Question 1

Answer: Sand dunes migrate. The whole mound of sand moves downwind as sand grains on the windward slope move up and over the crest of the dune to fall on the leeward slope. Sand removed from the back of the dune is redeposited on the front of the dune. Over time, this continuous process moves the entire dune.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
