deflation
Wind erosion and sediment transport by wind.
Erosion
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.
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.
Sediment is not the end product of erosion, but rather a result of erosion. Erosion is the process of wearing away and transporting materials like rocks and soil, which eventually become sediment when deposited by water, wind, or ice. Sediment can later undergo further processes to form rocks or be re-eroded.

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.
Higher wind speeds can increase the erosion and transport of sediment by carrying and moving larger and heavier particles over longer distances. The force of the wind can also impact the size and distribution of sediment particles, affecting sediment erosion and deposition processes. Ultimately, stronger winds can lead to greater movement and redistribution of sediment in an environment.
