Wind blowing sand from one location to another is an example of ____
A
Weathering
B
Erosion
C
Deposition
D
Sand dunes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This is an example of erosion, as the sand is being removed from its original place. Then, the wind carries the sand to another location, where it is deposited. This is an example of deposition. So, the process of wind blowing sand from one location to another involves both erosion and deposition.

Detailed explanation-2: -Erosion by Wind Wind is a powerful agent of erosion. Aeolian (wind-driven) processes constantly transport dust, sand, and ash from one place to another. Wind can sometimes blow sand into towering dunes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Erosion moves pieces of the Earth. As pieces of the Earth are broken down by weathering, they are carried away in a process called erosion. Water is a common way that pieces of the Earth are moved to a new location. Wind also contributes to erosion by blowing the particles away.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sand forms when rocks break down from weathering and eroding over thousands and even millions of years.

Detailed explanation-5: -Wind-blown sand may carve rocks into interesting shapes. You can see an example in Figure below. This form of erosion is called abrasion. It occurs any time rough sediments are blown or dragged over surfaces.

Detailed explanation-6: -When it rains in my backyard, the rain carries the soil to the edge of my backyard near the fence and creates a huge mud puddle. This is the process of moving soil to a new location, which is called erosion.”

Detailed explanation-7: -What is wind erosion? Wind Erosion is the natural process of transportation and deposition of soil by the wind. It is a common phenomenon occurring mostly in dry, sandy soils or anywhere the soil is loose, dry, and finely granulated.
