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.
The harder a substance is, the longer it takes for it to erode.
The passage of pure air itself won't weather most rocks. However, as the wind moves over the ground, it tends to pick up very small particles of dust or even fine grit. As this grit and dust blows over rocks with the wind, the rock becomes abraded by the grit and dust. Over time, this will erode and weather the rocks.
Abrasion is when rock particles are wearing away from the rocks surface. This is done by wind, water, and ice in nature.
a yardang is a rock in the desret. The yardang is formed by wind which blow against the rock to erode it. usually, the yardang looks like a ships hull
It is carried away by water and wind.
well, think about it, wind can erode ALL size of rocks, wind does its job, which is eroding rocks.
true
Wind can pick up small aggregates and soil particles and displace them in another soil series. Wind can also erode rocks by picking up particles of sand that then slowly erode at the exposed rocks.
moves small rock and hits it into big rock
deflation and abrasion
Wind can cause weathering of rocks through "sandblasting", the abrasion from wind carried particles, and through the movement of wind created waves that can weather rocks from applied and hydraulic force.
The wind has molecules (you can feel it when you fan yourself) and these molecules can carry very tiny pieces of rock. The wind takes tiny pieces of rock each year and, of course, it takes a long time to erode.
erode is a noun. Wind and water erode rock. past tense- eroded The Colorado River eroded the Grand Canyon
Sandblasting of rock by wind-blown particles is referred to as abrasion. It is the process of scraping or wearing away of rock particles.
Weathering, wind, rain, extreme temperatures.
by wind which blow against the rock to erode it
Sorry i firgued it out its 1. It can carry particles of sediment from place to place. 2. It can also cause weathering. 3. Exposed rock can slowly erode.
