Erosion
Erosion is the process in which sediment moves from one location to another.Do not get this confused with deposition, which is the process in which sediment is dropped (deposited) in a new location.
erosion is harmful because it drags sediment from one place to another causing the area that the sediment was moved from to disapear
Wind can create alterations in the surface layers of rocks, and wind is one cause of erosion.

Erosion
Some forces that cause erosion and carry sediment from one place to another are wind and water.
Sediment of smaller mass is easier for the power of wind to overcome the power of gravity in moving it from one place to another. Most sediment moved by wind that is tiny as sand.

EROSION According to Holt Science and Technology, by Holt Rinehart and Winston, "the process by which wind, water, ice, or gravity transports soil and sediment form one location to another" is erosion.
I am going to say sand dunes and loess deposits are two types of deposits formed by wind erosion.
It is called erosion.
