The wind can pick-up and carry sand grains. It is these sand grains that act as 'sand-paper' against the rocks, eroding the rocks into weird shapes.

What of the following is caused by wind erosion?

Sand dunes and rock formations like hoodoos are typically caused by wind erosion, where particles are carried away by the wind and shape the landscape over time.


What is responsible for the change in shape in mountains from pointy to dull?

How does the hardness of rocks influence the shape of features which wind erosion can produce?

the loose particles blown by the wind may knock against other objects and cause erosion


Wind water and ice are causes of?

Wind, water, and ice are causes of weathering and erosion on Earth's surface. Wind erosion happens when wind carries and deposits sediment, water erosion occurs when flowing water wears away rocks and soil, and ice erosion occurs when glaciers and ice sheets move and shape the landscape.


What the shape of the surface of the land?

Water, Wind, Wave, and Glacier Erosion as well as Mass Movement (or Erosion, Deposition, and Weathering)


What are two agents of erosion.?

Two agents of erosion are water and wind. Water erosion occurs through the action of rivers, waves, and rain, while wind erosion happens when wind carries and deposits soil particles. These agents sculpt and shape the Earth's surface over time.


How does erosion effect wind?

erosion doesn't effect wind, wind causes erosion


What are three agents of erosion?

Three agents of erosion are wind, water, and ice. Wind erosion occurs when wind blows particles away from the surface, water erosion happens when water carries away soil and rocks, and ice erosion occurs when glaciers move and shape the land through processes like plucking and abrasion.


Why are erosion and weathering thought of as partners that shape the land?

They both shape the land by sweeping away parts of the land by water or wind


What kinds of landscapes can wind erosion form?

wind erosion can shape sediments into all kinds of shapes . most of the sand dunes in the deserts are shaped by wind. seriously without wind erosion those swirly sand stuff wouldn't even be standing.
