Sand dunes
This photo is of the sand dunes at Wrightsville Beach taken 1/29/17. Sand dunes are of vital importance in coastal areas. They provide protection to the plants and animals that inhabit from large waves that accompany storms and rising tide. In this respect they help contribute to the fifth key assumption of adaptions due to natural selection, environment. These assumptions were talked about in lecture four. The fifth assumption is that an organism's fitness depends on their interaction with the environment. Grass seen in the photo are able to survive in the sandy soil present on sand dunes help to allow the sand dunes to keep their shape through wind and waves. Sand dunes are also are of key importance to humans as they protect expensive beach front homes from being destroyed by wind and waves.
