Snowdrifts are a mound or bank of snow driven together by the wind.
The word snowdrifts is the plural form for the singular snowdrift. The plural possessive form is snowdrifts'.
du you use a snow blower like i do
They would probably help block the wind. Which would help reduce snowdrifts. Try evergreens, they dont lose the leaves and would give extra protection
Similar: Both are formed by wind. Different: Sand dunes are formed by deposition. Snowdrifts are formed by weathering. ++ They are both formed by deposition of a granular material by the wind. Weathering is totally different - it is the breakdown of rock (or other materials) by the weather, biological agents, etc. - though sand is a product of the weathering of rock.

Pliny was referring to the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. He was an eyewitness to the 79 AD disaster.
Winds in ice caps are typically strong and cold, originating from high-pressure systems and blowing across the flat, icy surfaces. These winds can create blowing snow and lead to the formation of snowdrifts, contributing to the harsh conditions in polar regions.
A windblown pile of snow is called a snowdrift. This occurs when strong winds pick up loose snow and deposit it in a mound-like formation. Snowdrifts can vary in size and shape depending on the strength of the wind and the texture of the snow.
Snow erosion refers to the process where wind blows snow from one place to another, causing it to accumulate in one spot and be eroded from another. This can lead to changes in the landscape, such as the formation of snowdrifts or the exposing of bare ground. Snow erosion is common in regions with cold climates and strong winds.
A pile of snow shaped by wind is called a "drift." Wind can cause snow to accumulate in certain areas, creating these formations, often found along roadsides or in open fields. Snowdrifts can vary in size and shape depending on wind patterns and the amount of snowfall.
this was my homework, they are part erosion and weathering big diff.
