16.1 Wind as an Agent of Change deflation  desert pavement 2. abrasion  ventifacts 3. deposit of sediment Loess, sand dunes

16.1 Wind as an Agent of Change 2. What are the optimum conditions for wind erosion? Name at least three locations where these conditions exist. Loose, dry sands, silts, and clays make optimum conditions for wind erosion. Places where these conditions exist include the Sahara in Africa, the Gobi Desert in Asia, and the Mojave Desert in the U.S.

16.2 Waves in the Sea Wind creates waves at sea. Water moves in circular pattern. Waves approach shore at angle. Waves refract as they reach shore. When water depth equals about half of wavelength, water begins to touch bottom. Circular wave motion is disrupted and waves break. Currents form, including: backwash, longshore, and rip.

16.3 Shoreline Features Made by Erosion: Notches Sea cliffs Sea caves Sea arches Sea stacks

16.3 Shoreline Features 2. Made when sediments are deposited: Beaches Sandbars Spits Hooks Barrier islands

16.3 Shoreline Features Explain the basic difference between the way that irregular shorelines and regular shorelines are created. Most irregular shorelines seem to have been formed when coastal areas were flooded, drowning the area. Regular shorelines were probably formed at the boundary between two sets of plates.
