1. That it is really strong and that it will mess everything up in its path.
ReplyDelete2. Because the wind was strong and it blow all the sand on the other side of the fence.
3. To show where the grass stops and property.
I think the fence was put there to stop the sand from falling. The wind is blowing away the sand.
ReplyDeleteThis fence tells us that wind erosion blew the sand against the fence for a long time till it got up this high on the fence.I think there is more sand on one side of the fence because the wind was blowing that way.I think the fence was but there to sepeerate proberity lines.
ReplyDeleteThere is more sand on one side of the fence then the other.Because the fence is in a small dune.The fence was put there to keep back the sand.
ReplyDeletethe wind is strong. it carries the sand from one place to another, burying the fences beneath the sand. there is more sand on one side of the fence because the wind is blowing in one direction, so the sand is higher on one side than the other. the fence is probably put there to separate the land or property.
ReplyDeletethe fence was put there so that the sand will stop falling. and the wind is blowing away.!
ReplyDeleteThat the wind erosion is bad and it would cover the plants. Because there is vegitation on 1 side and there is no vegitation on the other side. So that some of the sand would stop.
ReplyDeletewind could have caused the sand to blow to the other side.
ReplyDeleteto seperate the properties.
Why is there grass on one side and not on the other?
1.It tells me that when the wind blows it makes the sand pile up to the fence.
ReplyDelete2.Because the wind was probably blowing in the direction the sand dune is.
3.to seperate property.
1. That wind erosion can be powerful and can drag large amounts of sand at a time
ReplyDelete2.I think that there is more sand on the oppisite side of the fence because the fence helps keep the sand on tfhat side.
3. I think that the fence was put there so that not as much of the sand could be blown over to the other side of it.
Why is there grass on one side of the fence and not the other?
the fence tells me about wind erosions because of the fence it looks like it is leaning from wind.there is more sand on 1 side of the fence compared to the other because of the sand the was blown. i think the fence was put there because the sand will seperate the unes
ReplyDelete1 The fence tells how bad the the wind erosion, the higher the sand on the fence the more wind erosion there is.
ReplyDelete2 I think there is more sand on one side of the fence because the plants roots on the left hold in the sand as the wind blows.
3 I think the fence is there to keep people on the path and out of the dunes.
1.It tells me that it is really strong, and the force of the wind is blowing the fence over.
ReplyDelete2.I think there is more sand because,the wind is blowing the sand to the other side.
3.I think the fence was put there because it is a property line.
I think there is more sand on one side because the wind was blowing in the direction in which there is more sand.
ReplyDeleteThe fence was probably put there to separate property.
1.I think there is more sand on one side because the wind blew it there.
ReplyDelete2.I think the fence was put there to protect the dune grass,because the dune grass helps protect the soil from erosion. :O
1. The Wind Is Very Strong.
ReplyDelete2. On one side there is more sand and on the other its less sand because the strong wind blew it to one side.
3. The fence is there to separate properties like houses
It tells you that wind pushed it over one side of the fence. There's more sand on one side because the wind blew it to that side. They could have put it there because there's an endangered species.
ReplyDeleteIt tells you that the wind blew the sand and the fence. So that you don't go up there.
ReplyDelete1. that it is kind of rough.
ReplyDelete2. the fence is holding the sand on the other side off.
3. So the sand wont get to the other side.
1. The wind is strong
ReplyDelete2. The wind blew it to one side
3. Property line
It tells me that sand dunes are very strong and so is the wind.I think there is more sand on one side of the fence then the other because waves wash the sand away.I think the fences are put there because people didn't want the waves to wash away the land.
ReplyDeletethere is a really strong wind and it was blowing that way and it piled up.
ReplyDeleteThis fence tells us that wind erosion blew the sand against the fence for a long time till it got up this high on the fence.I think there is more sand on one side of the fence because the wind was blowing that way
ReplyDelete1.It tells us that when the wind blows it makes the sand pile up to the fence.
ReplyDelete2.Because the wind was probably blowing in the direction the sand dune is.
3.separates property.
i think the sand is lop sided cause the wind blows it to one side of the fence.The fence is there so people wont go on it.
ReplyDelete1 The fence tells how bad the the wind erosion, the higher the sand on the fence the more wind erosion there is.
ReplyDelete2 I think there is more sand on one side of the fence because the plants roots on the left hold in the sand as the wind blows.
3 I think the fence is there to keep people on the path and out of the dunes.

ReplyDelete1~~ It tells me that the wind is strong!
ReplyDelete2~~ The wind blew the sand to one side.
3~~ It is property line.
This fence tells us that wind erosion blew the sand against the fence for a long time till it got up this high on the fence.I think there is more than just that piece of the fence it just got blown away. I think the fence is there because it might be wet land and if someone could get hurt in there.
ReplyDeleteI think that the wind was blowing really strong and it had a small sand storm and blew the sand over the fence.
ReplyDeletesand dunes are very strong and i think people put the fences up so waves don't drag away the land
ReplyDeleteEmily m ~
ReplyDeletethis tells me that the winds are very strong
ovy. there was a strong wind and the sand bloweddd lol ohhh yeahhhhhh.
ReplyDelete1. There could have been a very strong wind and made the sand go to on the other side.
ReplyDelete2 There is more because the fence blocks it.
3. I think the fence is there to keep people out.
The fence looks kind of broken and its leaning , probably because of the wind , I'm guessing.
ReplyDeleteThere is more sand on one side of the fence because of sand dunes and wind erosion. The fence might be put there to keep people away, for decoration, or to protect the grass from wind erosion
ReplyDeletethe wind blows sand into dunes and they usuauly moves and shifts . the fences are blown down and then covered in sand . they are usualy put there to block off dune grass since its endangerd
ReplyDeleteWhat does this fence tell you about wind erosion and the dunes? That the wing is very strong. Why do you think there is more sand on one side of the fence? umm because the wind blew it. Why do you think the fence was put there? so things wouldn't blow on the land.
ReplyDeleteThere is more sand on one side of the fence because of the wind blowing it back. The picture tells me that wind makes dunes.
ReplyDeletethis is prof of wind erosion. there is evidence of wind forming dunes and the fence blocks the sand from going into the ocean
ReplyDelete1. it tells you that the wind is strong and is (2) mostly going in the same direction.
ReplyDelete3. I think they do that to protect the path slightly from blowing debris
There is more side on one side of the fence is because that's what the fence was put there for.
ReplyDeleteThis fence tells me that in the dunes sand erosion is common because of all the sand. I think there was more sand was on one side because that is the way the wind is coming from. I think the fence was put there it was acting as a perimeter for the beach.
ReplyDeleteThe sand must have been blowing against the fence for quite a while so the sand eroded the fence which made it bend and probably made a hole under the fence which when the sand blows under the fence which explains the more sand on one side
ReplyDelete1. The fence tells us that the wind blows the sand in different places because you can see the sand building up along the fence.
ReplyDelete2. I think more sand is on one side of the fence because the wind is blowing and the sand builds up against the fence and doesn't blow down the other side because the fence is in the way.
3.I think the fence was put there to keep the sand from blowing toward houses and prevent more sand dunes to be made.
This fence tells that the wind blows sand around and the fence was erected to keep the sand from going someplace people don't want it to go. There is probably more sand one one side than the other because the grass roots lift it up a few inches
ReplyDeleteA sand fence is a very effective way of preserving a beach. It slows down sand from moving forward so the beach stays were it naturally was at the first place.
ReplyDeleteya the wind is probably strong but it could have formed over a long period of time
ReplyDeletethe fence tells me that there is a large amont of wind erosion and dunes. there is more sand on one side of the fence instead of the other because the fence blocks sand on one side so it builds up.i think that the fence was put there to stop the sand from coming up from the beach.
ReplyDeleteIt tells me wind is very powerful and is worth taking precautions against. I think there is more sand on one side of the fence because the fence is blocking the wind from reaching that side. I think the fence was put there to keep the wind from burying the grass in sand.
ReplyDeleteThis tells me that sand can be easily moved by wind. There is more sand on one side of the fence because the fence stopped the sand from coming to the other side of the fence. The fence stops people from crossing over to the other side. It could be a property line or just a fence to keep people out. It doesn't look like it is very successful.
ReplyDeletethe wind erosion could have been going on for a while or the wind could be strong, you never know but we do know it is wind erosion

ReplyDeleteThe wing erosion tells you that a lot of sand that blows up against the fence. There is more sand on one side of the fence because the wind blew that way. I think the fence was put there to hide something that people shouldn't find out about.
ReplyDeleteThe fence keeps some of the sand on one side, but not all of it. One side of the fence has more sand on it because the sand gets caught on the fence, which gives it the allusion that closer to the fence there is more sand on one side then the other. At least for a couple of feet.
ReplyDeletethe wind makes the sand blow up on one side of the fence
ReplyDeletethen the sand builds up on one side
i think the fence was put there to keep the sand from blowing on to the house
the sand was probably moved fairly fast by strong winds
ReplyDeleteThis fence tells about wind erosion because the fence looks kind of weathered on the side you see. It tells about dunes because dunes form when sand is stopped by an obstacle. There is sand on one side of the fence because the wind is blowing from that side and the sand in the wind is stopped by the fence. The fence could have been put there to stop the sand.
ReplyDeleteIt tells you that the wind is strong enough to push over a fence. The wind blew the sand there. The fence is there to slow the dune's movement.

This fence tells me that dunes can pile up against blocks like this fence and the dunes travel by the wind pushing them and the fence is blocking the dunes. There is more sand on one side of the fence because the wind is trying to push the sand toward the other side but the fence is blocking the movement of the dune. The fence probably was put there to preserve the dunes.
ReplyDeleteThere must be a lot of wind on the beach because the beach is exposed without any trees. The fence could be to separate properties or to stabilize the sand. The reason why most of the sand is only on one side is the fence is because people might live one the side of the fence with sand and they might trim the grass and maintain the beach.
ReplyDelete1. The wind is very strong.
ReplyDelete2. I think that there is more sand on one side because the wind is blowing from that direction.
3. The fence could have been put there so that people don't go up there, or to seperate property lines...
dunes
ReplyDeleteThe wind is so strong it is worth taking precautions against.
ReplyDeleteThat picture tells me that the sand gets eroded down into the ocean, but is also massively effected by wind. The sand is greater on one side because of beach erosion, and wind. Because the fence acts as a wind break for the sand on the other side. also because there are lots of plants holding the sand together on the other side. I think the fence was put there to save the dunes because without them the wind would blow away all of the sand. And then there would be no sand left for the plants and grasses to grow in. Thus not having any vegetation for the animals to feed off of. And then the animals would die. Basically it would kill the whole environment if the fence wasn't there. Also to hold the grassland on the other side from slipping downhill into possibly the ocean. The fence as small as it is helps keeps the land together. And it could be there to prevent erosion so that structures behind the fence won't be unstable because of it. It also could be there to mark beach property, but that is the least likely in my mind.
ReplyDeleteWill you wrote a lot and it is mostly all true
ReplyDeleteWill, write less.
ReplyDeleteThe wind erosion is telling you that the sand is piling up on the fence. The dunes are very high. There's more sand on one side of the fence is because the sand is trying to keep the ground leveled. The fence was put there to keep sand from going on to land in grass.
ReplyDeletethe wind is strong. it carries the sand from one place to another, burying the fences beneath the sand. there is more sand on one side of the fence because the wind is blowing in one direction, so the sand is higher on one side than the other. the fence is probably put there to separate the land or property.
ReplyDeletei think that the fence was put there because the dune grass. there is more sand on one side then another because the wind
ReplyDeleteThe Fence is bent beacause the wind has blown it over and there is more sand on once side of the fence then the other because the wind blew the sand to that side of the fence.
ReplyDeleteit will move from the wind
ReplyDeleteTHE WIND HAS BLOWN THE FENCE A LITTLE BIT THE FENCE IS BLOCKING THE WIND FROM GETTING TO THE SIDE WHERE THERE IS MORE SAND
ReplyDeleteI think It was the wind that made the sand go up and over the fence or sense theres holes in the fence the sand might blow from the wind to the other side Also the wind is blowing one way.I think the wind erosion might be telling the sand is pilling up onto the fence.The dunes might be very high.And i think the fence was put there so you know not to step on the grass and for the sand not to go onto the grass.
ReplyDelete1.the sand is blowing.
ReplyDelete2. because the wind is blowing the sand to the other side of the fence.
3. to have a beach on one side and something else on the other side.
1. That it is really strong and that it will mess everything up in its path.
ReplyDelete2. Because the wind was strong and it blow all the sand on the other side of the fence.
3. To show where the grass stops and property.
the wind must of moved dunes that hit the fence, and the fence must have been put there so people wont step in and/or on the dunes because there might be snakes living in the dunes. There is more sand on one side because the picture is probably taking place on the beach.
ReplyDeleteI think there's more sand on one side because sand was kicked on that side or the wind blew the sand around.
ReplyDeleteand i think the fence was put there ether to keep an animal away or to protect that side because maybe there was a problem on that side of the beach.
1. the wind is very strong.
ReplyDelete2. because when the wind blows the sand flys or moves around and it moved to the other side of the fence.
3. because theres a field on the other side probably to seperate the property between them.
the wind will blow on the sand and the fence and move the sand to make it weak and then the fence will move because of the weakness of the sand
ReplyDelete.Also the wind will have more force and it will have more force and be slower
I think it was the wind blowing to one way one side as more beauase the wind.I think the fence was put there so sand does not get in the grass.The dunes are very high.The wind erosion is pulling sand over the fence
ReplyDeletethe fence shows that the fence has been weathered by wind and rain the would is also rotted outed
ReplyDeletelukkasp
the fence was put so the sand wont fall
ReplyDelete1. Makes a sand pile against the fence.
ReplyDelete2. The wind is blowing the way the sand dune is.
3.Seperates
the grass is there so that the sand dose not wash away and the fence is to keep people off the grass
ReplyDelete1# it tells me that wind can be very powerful
ReplyDelete2# the wind blew it there
3# to ceep the grass contained
I think the sand gets behind the fence when the wind blows the sand and the fence is bent backwards because when the wind hits the fence it puts pressure n the fence and forces it to bend backwards
ReplyDelete1. On one side of the fence the sand is taller than the other side.
ReplyDelete2. There is probably more sand on one side than the other because of the wind.
3. The fence was probably put there because there is grass on one side (probably someones yard) and sand and ocean on the other side.
the fence is bent for 2 reasons
ReplyDelete#1.
the fence is bent for 2 reasons
ReplyDelete#1. the wind current must of been really strong to bend it.
#2.the wind might of picked up quite a lot of sand to do that more than a pint
1.It tells me that, when the wind blows it makes the sand pile up to the fence.
ReplyDelete2.I think there is more sand on one side of the fence, because the wind was probably blowing in the same direction as the sand dune was.
3.I think the fence was put there to show where the grass stops and to separate the properties.
