Eolian deserts form in arid regions of the world where dry air masses create wind systems that transport and deposit loose sediments. Silt particles, called loss's, are carried by wind even longer distances than sand and collect around the fringe of deserts. Large areas of the desert environment that receive more than 125 square kilometers of eolian sand are called sand seas or ergs, such as Erg Chech in Algeria. The largest hot desert in the world, the Sahara Desert, is 7 million square kilometers and contains several ergs. Smaller areas are called dune fields. Wind force and variable wind directions transport and deposit sand and in the process create different types of dunes. Some dunes are shaped by the wind into ridges, strings, domes, stars, or bargains (half-moon shaped dunes). Deserts primarily consist of wind-deposited sand which originated from sandstone that eroded over time.
