In NYC, next to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, stands a gift from Egypt. It is a huge obelisk with four sides which are carved with hyerogliphics on each. When Egypt presented this gift to the museum, about 20 years ago...it was in very good shape. It was constructed during the ancient Egyption Civilization. Because of the polluted air in New York, we have a serious problem with acid rain. Today two sides of this obelisk, the west and the south sides are eroded due to the wind bringing in the acidic rain. While the west side and some of the north sides are legible because the wind comes from the east and erodes the hierogliphycs.

Even on deserts wind erosion is fairly rare. An example would be in the formation of ventifacts and yardangs.
