Detailed explanation-1: -Aeolian processes are those processes of erosion, transport, and deposition of sediments that are caused by wind at or near the surface of the earth. Sediment deposits produced by the action of wind and the sedimentary structures characteristic of these deposits are also described as aeolian.

Detailed explanation-2: -The soil transported by wind is known as Aeolian soil. You can well relate Aeolian soil with sand dunes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Eolian sediments consist of windblown sand, loess, and long-range-transported (LRT) dust, in order of decreasing particle size. Eolian sand forms some of the most dramatic landscapes in the world, particularly when these sediments are deposited as dunes in sand seas.

Detailed explanation-4: -Properties of Aeolian soil: 1) Aeolian soil are deposited by wind action. 2) It has a uniformly graded particle. 3) The void ratio and permeability of soil is high. 4) They are non-plastic.

Detailed explanation-5: -Suspension, saltation, and surface creep are the three types of soil movement or transport which occur during wind erosion.
