| The sand dunes along Lake Ontario are primarily formed by glaciers during the last ice age. They are created through the accumulation of sand, which is transported by onshore winds and deposited by waves. The dunes are essential for protecting wetlands and providing habitat for various wildlife, including birds and fish. The sand dunes are a vital ecological component of the eastern Lake Ontario shore, supporting a diverse range of plants and animals. |
