Wind erosion and sediment transport by wind.
Aeolian erosion is the process where wind carries and moves sediment, gradually wearing away rocks and surfaces over time. This type of erosion is common in arid and windy environments like deserts.
The soil that is lost due to erosion is called sediment. Sediment can be carried away by water, wind, or ice, leading to a loss of fertile soil and degradation of land quality.
The erosion of sediment by wind, known as aeolian erosion, occurs when wind picks up and carries particles of sediment like sand and dust. These particles are then deposited in new locations, shaping landforms like sand dunes. Aeolian erosion can result in the loss of topsoil and impact ecosystems.
Erosion
One form of erosion of sediment by wind is deflation, where small particles are lifted and carried away by the wind. This process can lead to the formation of sand dunes and the loss of fine particles from the surface.

the deposite of sediment by the wind
Wind picks up sediment which causes erosion when it hits the rock.

Three forces that cause erosion are wind, water, and ice. Wind erosion occurs when wind carries sediment and wears away rocks. Water erosion happens through the force of flowing water which can transport sediment and carve out channels. Ice erosion, known as glacial erosion, occurs when glaciers move and scrape against the Earth's surface, picking up and carrying sediment.

Particulates in wind erosion, or the "load" in water erosion, are called sediment.
