The aggregation of similar landforms
creates the landscape of the Jasper Sand Dunes. The region has been modified to
an extent by weathering and erosion, the forces of nature having helped to shape the landscape. A sand dune is essentially an accumulation of sand
particles or sediment carried in by coastal waves, then transported by the forces
of wind, over time building to form structures like the one seen above. In the formation of the dunes in particular, wind contributed to the
standing sand dunes and to this day continues to modify the landscape.
