How does wind cause erosion?
The wind picks up tiny particles of sand and dirt and blows it into whatever it is eroding. That's why sometimes you see things that are only eroded to a certain height, because the wind can't lift the particles that high. Wind causes erosion by picking up small bits of gravel,sand, and small rocks and blows them onto a surface. Five agents of erosion are glaciers, moving water, water, wind and waves. Well, wind causes erosion by blowing sand, dirt, water on beaches, etc. When the wind blows on ( for example) sand, it pushes it, perhaps, downhill, and the sand is eroded away.
