Wind erosion and what it does to stones

  • Wind erosion wears away and displaces soil and materials due to the action of the wind.
  • It is classified into abrasion and deflation erosion, each with its own specific processes.
  • Wind speed and the presence of vegetation are key factors in wind erosion.
  • Weathered rocks can form eolian rocks, such as sandstone and loess, from wind-blown sediments.
