Wind affects the erosion of rock, so if the wind decreases then the erosion decreases.

The act or process by which wind or water sets down sediment?
The act or process by which wind or water sets down sediment is known as deposition. This is the common process that follows after erosion.
What forces cause erosion and deposition?
Primarily a combination of Gravity, solar energy in the form of wind or waves, and tectonic forces Erosion is the movement of sediment and deposition is when that sediment gets placed somewhere else. Water falls to the Earth in the water cycle, and gravity pulls the water (or ice) down hill, carrying sediment with it (erosion). As the speed of the water slows as the slope decreases, the larger and larger pieces of sediment are settled out of the water by the force of gravity, becoming deposited someplace else. If there is no water present, sediment can be transported by any other fluid as well, usually air in the form of wind. As the wind slows, gravity is again the main factor in deposition. Tectonic forces also cause events such as lava flows, mass wasting etc.
Wind carrying sand grains deposits the sand when the wind?
Wind carrying sand grains deposits the sand when the wind slows down or hits an obstacle.
What is the process that happens when small pieces of sediment are carried away?
It is the process of erosion, carried out by the agents of wind, water, ice, and gravity.
What is the erosion of sediment by wind?
deflation
Which type of sediment will be dropped first as the wind slows down?
Probably the heaviest
When does wind-carried sediment fall to the ground?
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.
What slows down wind erosion?
vegetation growth
Can rocks break down into sediment?
Wind and water
What causes wind to deposit sand and or other sediment?
When the wind starts to slow down it starts to deposit sand or other sediment.
The act or process by which wind or water sets down sediment?
The act or process by which wind or water sets down sediment is known as deposition. This is the common process that follows after erosion.
What occurs when sediment falls out of water or is down by wind?
weathering
When does the wind deposit the sand when the wind?
Wind carrying sand grains deposits the sand when the wind slows down or hits an obstacle.
What occurs when sediment fall out of water or is set down by wind?
weathering
What force increases when a heavy wind slows a bird down?
Air resistance

How does wind behave when it meets a step slope?
The steep slope stops and slows down the wind,then the wind goes back to normal speed.
