How does wind work as an agent of erosion as well as an agent of deposition?

Erosion is defined as the movement of material from one place to another place. Wind, although the weakest agent of erosion, is still able to move sand, silt, and clay particles without too much effort; with increased speed, wind is capable of knocking down buildings. When the wind that is carrying material loses velocity, it reaches a point where it can no longer overcome the force of gravity, and the material stops its movement. If the material no longer moves, it has been deposited. Even in this scenario, the major agent of deposition is gravity.

Which agent of erosion is responsible for the most erosion?
Wind is the weakest agent of erosion
What features result from deposition by wind?
Wind erosion and deposition may form sand dunes and loess deposits.
Agent of erosion?
Wind, water, ice, and gravity are the agents of erosion.

I am going to say sand dunes and loess deposits are two types of deposits formed by wind erosion.
What is the most effective agent of erosion in deserts?
wind.
Is a canyon created by erosion or deposition?
Erosion
Is the processes of erosin and deposition are the same?
no. erosion has to do with wind and sand. deposition has to do with ending erosion

Deposition.
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)

The strongest agent or erosion are water,man and animals. Yes, Maybe but the weakest agent of erosion is wind itself
What is the weakest agent erosion?
Wind is the weakest agent of erosion.
