Answer 2

Answer:

If the ‘steep face of a sand dune’ is on the ‘southeast side of a dune’, then the ‘prevailing wind’ in this area is from the North West.  

Explanation:

In coastal areas and the deserts, the sand dunes are found at the perpendicular direction of the ‘prevailing winds’. If the steep face of the sand dune is on the south east ‘side of a dune’, then the prevailing wind will arise from its perpendicular direction which is nothing but North West.
