Areas immediately to the leeward of mountains have a micro-climate with sparse precipitation called a rain shadow. 

As the moist air moves towards the land it hits the side of the mountain, which results in the air moving upward, as this warm moist air is forced up, it cools down and results in rainfall. After the cloud passes over the mountain, the moisture evaporates and a rain shadow forms on the other side.

How could sand dunes be held in place to keep them from drifting onto a road?
trapecia [35]

Answer: Sand Dunes Stabilization

Explanation:

Sand Dunes Stabilization is the process of engaging in actions that keep Sand Dunes in place to protect their Natural Habitat status.

Two such actions can be useful in this scenario.

1. Putting up Vegetation

- The roots of plants can help anchor soil which will reduce the rate at which it is blown around by wind or carried off by water. This will therefore reduce the rate at which sand dunes lose sand.

2. Putting up Wooden Fences

- Putting up Wooden Fences would also help reduce the rate sand dunes end up on roads for the simple reason that it would stop some of them from being blown by the wind and in so doing keep them where they are supposed to be.
