Yet, deserts are extraordinarily diverse ecosystems, ranging from the sandy expanses seen here to rocky plateaus and arid mountain ranges. These landscapes are formed by a variety of geological processes, typically characterized by minimal precipitation and sparse vegetation. The dunes pictured are formed by wind-blown sand that accumulates in ridges or mounds, constantly reshaped by fluctuating winds, showcasing the dynamic yet subtle artistry of nature.
