Well, isn't that a happy little question! When the wind slows down, sediment particles gently settle down to the ground, creating a soft blanket of earth. It's like nature's way of tucking in the land for a peaceful rest. Just imagine all those tiny particles finding their cozy spot to snuggle up and create new beginnings.
When wind slows down or meets an obstacle, it loses the energy needed to transport sediment and may deposit the material it was carrying. This process can lead to erosion around the obstacle where the wind's ability to move the sediment is diminished.
The dropping of sediment from wind or water that slows down is called sediment deposition. When ice melts and releases sediment it carries, it is known as glacial meltwater sedimentation.
Deposition is the act or process by which wind or water sets down sediment. This can occur when the transporting force (wind or water) loses energy, causing the sediment it was carrying to settle and accumulate in a new location.
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.

Probably the heaviest
Water or wind carrying sediment slows down, causing the force of gravity to overcome the force of the water or wind, resulting in the sediment dropping and settling to the ground or surface. This process is known as sedimentation and occurs when the velocity of the water or wind decreases, leading to the deposition of the sediment.
Wind-carried sediment falls to the ground when wind slows down or some obstacle, such as a boulder or clump of grass, traps the windblown sand and other sediment. When it comes into contact with any obstacle.

Wind and water
When the wind starts to slow down it starts to deposit sand or other sediment.

weathering
Wind carrying sand grains deposits the sand when the wind slows down or hits an obstacle.
