Wind erosion

Wind erosion is the process by which strong winds remove soil and sand particles from the Earth's surface. This occurs primarily in dry and barren areas where vegetation is sparse, allowing wind to easily lift and carry away loose materials. Over time, wind erosion can reshape landscapes, create dust storms, and diminish soil quality, making land less fertile for farming. It can also contribute to air pollution when fine particles become airborne. Strategies like planting vegetation and using natural barriers help prevent wind erosion, preserving soil health and reducing environmental impacts.
