Sand dunes, dune fields and sand seas of the world deserts, where wind piles inland sand into great dunes that can rise hundreds of metres and stretch across whole basins. Star dunes, crescent dunes and long linear ridges grow according to the wind and the sand supply. A dune belongs here when its cited article places it in a desert or calls it a sand sea or dune field. Each member is placed by what its own article says it is, never by its name alone.
