Sandblasting is an abrasive process. It involves 'firing' tiny metal beads at a surface to remove grime, paint etc... The action of the beads hitting the surface at speed breaks up the coating that's to be removed.
A sandstorm is very similar to sandblasting.

For Sandblasting a Buildings, stone or bricks you need an air compressor and a sand blasting knob. These are the things required for sandblasting.
Saltation erosion leaves pebbles and boulders behind. This type of erosion occurs when the wind picks up sediment particles and hurls them against larger rocks, causing abrasion and erosion.
Both wind erosion and sandblasting involve the movement of particles (wind-carried sediment or sand particles) that impact and wear away surfaces over time. They both result in the removal of material by abrasive action, leading to surface sculpting or erosion.
The wind picks up grains of sand and it is the sand that weathers the rocks, often creating weird shapes.

Sandblasting of rock by wind-blown particles is referred to as abrasion. It is the process of scraping or wearing away of rock particles.

One example of wind erosion that can be compared to sandblasting is deflation. Deflation occurs when wind removes loose particles of soil and sand from the ground, similar to how sandblasting removes materials from a surface. Over time, deflation can lead to the formation of depressions in the landscape, such as desert pavement.

Natural sandblasting abrasion in desert regions results in the erosion and shaping of surface bedrock through the relentless impact of wind-driven sand particles. This process leads to the formation of unique geological features, such as streamlined rocks, ventifacts, and polished surfaces. Over time, the bedrock can develop a distinctive appearance, with smooth, rounded edges and reduced overall height. Ultimately, this phenomenon contributes to the overall landscape evolution in arid environments.
