Rocks are usually smooth and perhaps pitted (with holes) on the windward side. The leeward side of tall rock structures such as mountains are also warmer and drier due to precipitation on the windward side, so an abundance of streams may indicate the windward side of a mountain and a lack of streams may indicate the leeward side, forming deserts. "Mushroom rocks" show that the wind is dry and contains sediments which wears away the lower parts of large rocks.

How are metamorphic rock structures related to deformation?
Deformation can create metamorphic rock structures.....
How are seeds with feathery structures scattered?
by wind
Deflation is the removal of worn rock by what?
Wind.
What is a wind-eroded rock called?
erosion is a weathering process. an igneous rock is made by magma, sedimentary rock is made of sediments, and metamorphic rocks are made from heat and pressure. these all are eventually eroded.
What wears away soil and rock by wind?
Wind (or aeolian) erosion.
What is a wind eroded rock called?
Wind eroded rocks are found mostly in arid regions, i.e. Desert Topography. Rocks eroded by wind are of different types and structures and are called different names depending on its form and agent of formation. The names given to some wind eroded rocks are; 1. Inselberg. 2. Rock Pedestals. 3. Zeugen.

How does wind and glacier abrade rock?
Wind and glaciers abrade rock with their brute force.

What are rock structures?
Most rocks are not uniform throughout. On a scale usually best measured in millimeters or centimeters, they are composed of individual mineral grains that vary in size, shape and composition. The geometric characteristics of and relationships between these small-scale rock features constitute rock texture. Rock commonly also vary on larger scales, best measured in centimeters to meters to kilometers. The individual, contrasted, larger-scale features of rocks are called 'structures'. Our task will be to see if there are rock structures that can provide clues to a rock's formational environment: whether it's igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic.There are hundreds of distinct rock structures. Geologists find it convenient to divide them into 'primary' and 'secondary' structures.Primary Structures: structures formed before or at the same as material is in the process of becoming rock. For example, formed as magma crystallizes or as sediment accumulates.Secondary Structures: structures imposed on rock after it has already formed. For example, formed as a result of compression of existing rock.
What is carrying away of rock or soil by wind?
wind erosion
What can isobars tell you about windspeed?
an isobar can tell you the wind mileage and the strength of the wind
What is a wind-eroded rock called?
erosion is a weathering process. an igneous rock is made by magma, sedimentary rock is made of sediments, and metamorphic rocks are made from heat and pressure. these all are eventually eroded.
What are the negartives of wind energy?
The negative of wind energy is that production is dependant on winds, therefore if there is no wind there is no energy. there are no recorded ecological effects of wind energy capturing structures.
What natural actions that break down rock?
Rocks are broken down by rain, snow, hail, wind, waves, ect.
