How does deflation affect the surface in dry regions?
Deflation means that the wind removes sand and rock particles. In dry regions this weathering may mean increased desertification.
What is when wind picks up and carries away loose surface material?
Erosion occurs when rock is washed, blown, or carried away.
Deflation is the removal of worn rock by what?
Wind.
Does erosion occurs when chemical activities break down rock?
no, erosion is the travelling of particles of rocks.
In deserts deflation can sometimes create an area of rock fragments called what?
The area of rocks that deflation creates is called Desert Pavement
What is the removal of rock particles by wind water ice and gravity?
The lifting and removal of loose material by wind is called deflation. (Deflation is a type of erosion) (If you look up deflation, try "deflation geology" because if you don't add geology, only the economic meanings will come up.)

What are two ways wind erode particles of rock?
Wind ErosionTwo processes of aeolian erosion? 1. Deflation - wind entrains particles with a diameter of less than 60 micrometres.2. Abrasion - entrained sediment is thrown against rock surfaces. ("wind-scouring").Hope this helps.
What is the difference between deflation and saltation?
Saltation refers to the way particles of rock and sand are blown by the wind, skipping or bouncing along the ground. Origin: the Latin verb to jump.Deflation refers to the removal of loose particles of rock and sand by the violent twisting action of the wind.

What are small shallow hollows in rock produced by wind deflation?
blowout
What is the process that occurs when water slows down and particles of rock and sand are laid down in new locations?
Deposition...
What particles are in rock?
Rock particles.
