All things exposed to the wind are prone to wind erosion. This includes buildings, hills, mountains, plains, deserts, anything. Areas protected most protected from wind erosion are areas with heavy plant growth. Plants take the brunt of the wind, and roots of the plants keep the soil and whatever other materials are in the ground in place.
