| A hill or mound of sand drifted by the wind is called a dune. Dunes are commonly found all over the world in areas with dry sand and enough wind to move the sand. These areas include the coastal dunes found near large bodies of water (both salt water and fresh water) and the inland dunes found in deserts and old flood plains. The highest dunes are inland dunes and occasionally reach over 600 feet high like the dunes pictured here from Great Sand Dunes National Monument in Colorado. Most dunes are coastal dunes and vary in size from a foot or so to approximately 100 feet.
