Erosion & Deposition by Wind How does wind cause erosion? What features result from deposition by wind?

Wind causes erosion by2 process: deflation and abrasion. Wind is the weakest agent in shaping the land, but…

Wind can be powerful in shaping the land in areas where there are few plants to hold the soil in place.

Where is wind erosion found? In areas where there are few plants to hold the soil in place, like deserts.

DEFLATION Wind removes surface materials by picking up small particles of sediment. Heavier particles may skip or bounce.

Abrasion Wind-blown sand can polish rock, but causes little erosion Abrasion Wind-blown sand can polish rock, but causes little erosion. It is mainly a form of weathering.

Forms sand dunes and loess deposits Deposition by wind Forms sand dunes and loess deposits Sediment being blown by wind eventually slows down or hits an obstacle like boulders or a clump of grass where the sediment gets trapped

Sand Dunes come in many shapes & sizes little by little, sand shifts from one side of the dune to the other

LOESS DEPOSITS Sediment finer than sand, such as clay & silt is deposited far from its source The U.S. has large areas with fertile soil and valuable farmland

Summary Questions: 1. What causes wind to deposit sand or other sediment?
