Over time, how are these sand dunes likely to change?

• The dunes will remain unchanged for millions of years because Mars is not inhabited by life.

• Ice glaciers on Mars will slowly weather and erode the sand by scraping off the top layers of soil.

• Wind on Mars will blow the sand into new dune formations in a short period of time.

• Water on Mars will weather and erode the sand and decrease the size of the dunes a long period of time.

After the hurricane, shallow areas offshore were dredged, or excavated, and the sand was relocated to this shore. What is most likely the reason for relocating the sand?

• An effort to rebuild the shoreline after the storm eroded the area.

• To allow large ships to pass closer to the shore after the storm created more shallow pockets of ocean.

• An effort to prevent large waves from affecting the area in the future.

• To encourage more tourists to visit the area and help increase the economy after a large natural disaster.
