The erg formed from windblown sand and dust that accumulated over a period of time. The Sahara Desert is one of the driest places on Earth and receives very little rain each year. However, when it does rain, the rainfall can cause flooding and wind gusts can pick up sand and dust from the desert floor and create large dunes. These dunes can reach heights of hundreds of meters.
