Concept information
Preferred term
wind erosion
Definition
- From the sand seas of the Sahara to the loess plateau of China, to the yardang fields of Iraq and the dune fields of the Lençóis Maranhenses in Brazil, wind erosion has led to the development of distinctive and often dramatic landscapes. Many of the most recognizable of these landscapes, the sand seas and dunes, for example, are the product of the deposition of wind-eroded material. [Source: Encyclopedia of Geography; Wind Erosion]
