Detailed explanation-1: -As a result, there are distinct sandy (erg) and silty (loess) aeolian deposits, with only limited interbedding between the two.
Detailed explanation-2: -Abstract. Aeolian erosion develops through two principal processes: deflation (removal of loosened material and its transport as fine grains in atmospheric suspension) and abrasion (mechanical wear of coherent material).
Detailed explanation-3: -Aeolian deposits are sedimentary deposits of grains transported by wind. The picture on the right shows dunes at Salmon Creek Beach along with overlying wind ripples which are both two main types of wind deposits.
Detailed explanation-4: -Most sand dunes are classified by shape. There are five major dune shapes: crescentic, linear, star, dome, and parabolic.
