#22 Ecology: Sand Dunes At wind speeds above 1000 centimeters per second (cm/sec),<br>significant sand-moving events begin to occur. Wind speeds below 1000 cm/sec deposit sand,<br>and wind speeds above 1000 cm/sec move sand to new locations. The cyclic nature of wind and<br>moving sand determines the shape and location of large dunes. At a test site, the prevailing<br>direction of the wind did not change noticeably.
