Eolian Processes
Eolian processes refer to the ways wind shapes the Earth's surface. These include the erosion, transportation, and deposition of sediments like sand and dust carried by wind. Over time, wind can carve out landforms such as dunes and blow away loose particles from surfaces. These processes are particularly active in dry, sandy areas such as deserts and coastal regions. Eolian processes play a key role in shaping landscapes and redistributing sediments, impacting ecosystems and human activities alike.
