Una duna es una forma del terreno compuesta de arena impulsada por el viento o el agua. Por lo general toma la forma de un montículo, una cresta o una colina. Un área con dunas se llama sistema de dunas o complejo de dunas. Un complejo de dunas grande se llama campo de dunas, mientras que las regiones amplias y planas cubiertas de arena barrida por el viento o dunas, con poca o ninguna vegetación, se llaman ergs o mares de arena. Las dunas se presentan en diferentes formas y tamaños, pero la mayoría de los tipos de dunas son más largas en el lado stoss (upflow), donde la arena es empujada hacia arriba de la duna, y tienen una cara de deslizamiento más corta en el lado lee. El valle o la depresión entre dunas se llama dune slack.

“The haze of nostalgia covers their days among their sisters, making those days into something different than they were. That's the way today changes history. All contemporaries do not inhabit the same time. The past is always changing, but few realize it.”
“An Emperor's slightest dislike is transmitted to those who serve him, and there it is amplified into rage.”
“When the true motive is love, there are no other explanations. Searching for them is like chasing grains of sand in the wind.”
