Deflation can lower the lands surface by several meters. Abrasion makes pits in rocks and produce smooth, polished surfaces.
Deflation is a(n) erosion of the land by wind.
Abrasion is a form of erosion that makes pit in the rocks and produce smooth, polished surfaces. (abrasion is common in some deserts and in some cold regions with strong wind).
Hope this helps you !!!!! :D

∙ 10y agoThe difference between between deflation and abrasion is that abrasion is when wind blows sediments into rocks and deflation is when wind blows across loose sediments and carries then away.

How can wind the erode materials?
Wind causes erosion by deflation and abrasion. Deflation is the process by which wind removes surface materials.
What are some words associated with wind erosion?
abrasion deflation loess wind erosion wave
What kind of weathering is wind erosion?
This weathering is called ABRASION
What makes abrasion different from erosion and sliding wear?
Deflation wind is when the wind blows across loose sediments and carries them away.
What are 2 ways that waves erode land?
One way waves cause erosion is by forcing pressurized water and compressed air into cracks in the rocks. This causes the cracks to widen and pieces of the material to break off, bit by bit. Waves also cause abrasion when they cause particles move against one another or against the bedrock.
Explain the difference between deflation and abrasion?
In economics, deflation is the decrease of the general level of prices in an economy. Abrasion on the other hand, is the process of wearing down or rubbing away through fiction.
Compare and contrast abrasion and deflation?
I don't know the difference.
What are the two types of wind erosion?
deflation, abrasion
What two ways does wind erode?
deflation and abrasion
What kind of wind erosions are there?
deflation, loess, abrasion, and sandblasting.
What causes erosion by impact and?
