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.

i believe:

say there is a sandy beach and then there is a whole bunch of wind that goes there and then you see the beach and there is a dune off to the side the wind blow the sand into the dune and eroded ( pushed ) the sand into the dune.

Wind causes erosion by deflation and abrasion. Deflation is the process by which wind removes surface materials. Abrasion is the grinding away of rock by other rock particles carried in wind.
