Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Wind erosion damages land and natural vegetation by removing soil from one place and depositing it in another. The main mechanism of wind erosion is wind propelling sand and dirt causing erosion. Over time all the impacts of the loose sand on the rocks start to make the rocks chip away and erode.
Detailed explanation-2: -The sediment in wind causes erosion by abrasion. Sand dunes form when the wind deposits sand. Loess form when the wind deposits clay and silt. Wind erosion can be prevented by keeping the ground covered with plants.
