we were sent to the desert to see what the wind was damaging. One problem was abrasion, we saw that the bigger rocks were getting wore down. we all agreed that this wasn't a big problem and we decided that we shouldn't waste that much money on it. We also saw a process called saltation its when large particles bounce and skip along the ground.we also saw deflation. When Wind removes the top layers of fine sediment of soil and leaves behind larger rock pieces.Abrasion is when rocks or sand wears down larger pieces of rock. loess - thick deposits of windblown, fine-grained sediment deposited by the wind . It feel like talcum powder and can be found far away from its source.Sand dune- a mound of wind- deposited sand.
