wind can move small sized rocks, wind is a type of physical weathering along with freeze-thaw, which is when water enters cracks in rocks and freezes, as it freezes it expands making the crack bigger. the ice melts and re-freezes over and over again until the crack is so big that the rock brakes off. this is how cliffs are made. another physical type of weathering is onion skin. this is when the top layer of a rock is heated by sun, then cooled when the sun is not in view and re-heated over and over again. as this happens the top layer of the rock flakes off
A) As fine particles carried through air.
B) As particles that bounce along the ground.
C) As larger particles that slide or roll along the ground.
D) All of the above.
Yes, wind is capable of transporting fine-grained sediments.
Most definitely. Sandstorms can be violent and tear skin and cloth. It can also cause erosion of things, like the Pyramids.
the water makes the sediment wet and causes it to move.
Wouldn't you like to know ;)
Sediment can build up because of the wind or water.
When the wind starts to slow down it starts to deposit sand or other sediment.
An aeolian environment is one dominated by wind or the effects of wind or by wind-borne sediment.
Aeolian deposits.
they are both formed when wind or water picks up sediment
They could be called Aerosols.
Wind picks up sediment which causes erosion when it hits the rock.
Wouldn't you like to know ;)
Dunes are formed from aeolian deposition which consists of the wind picking up sediment, then blowing it, then dropping it. Dunes are an accumulation of sediment. More sediment is deposited on a dune as wind loses more energy when it hits it, thus depositing the sediment, growing the dune.
the deposite of sediment by the wind
Strong winds readily pick up and carry small grains of sediment. Your welcome!
What is the name for wind blown sediment
yes
Erosion is the movement of sediments by wind, water, ice, and gravity. Transportation of sediments by rivers and streams is referred to as fluvial erosion.
Sediment can build up because of the wind or water.
They can. because, glaciers pick up sediment as they go along slowly.
