How is limestone pavement formed?
limestone pavement is formed by leaving exposed limestone for ages
What are some wind erosion characteristics?
Landscapes formed from the work of wind result from either the removal of fine particles, or the sculpting effects of material in movement. Deflation lifts and removes loose particles from the surface. Deserts where soils of mixed particle size have been eroded of fines leave a cobblestone-like surface behind called desert lag or desert pavement. Surface becomes subject to erosion. Such has been the result of surface degradation from military activities in the desert regions of North Africa during World War II.
How was the Kalahari desert created?
it was formed by the erosion of soft stones around 200,00 years ago. the mass of the sand then formed the deserts as we know it today, although the Kalahari isn't a full desert its said to be a semi-desert as it has some savanna included in it.
