If you drop small particles like sand they roll and form a natural angle. (Just steep enough to be held by friction.) Further particles keep rolling and the angle stays the same.

This makes the natural shape. It is actually a cone, not a pyramid.

Of course wind complicates this so shapes are not exact.
