can you tell me about when THE WIND causes erosion?? thanks alot?

Answer 1

There are a couple ways that wind erodes. The first is when it picks up loose soil, coal, sand, or whatever and hauls it away. Normally, this is only effective when the surface is extremely dry and recently worked. The second way that wind causes erosion is when the dust it carries abrades surface materials.

The Sahara Desert is the classic example. The soil is so dry, that wind shifts the surface constantly. Strong winds create a sandstorm. The dust will wear away at any loose rock, create more sand. A similar effect occured in the "dust bowl" in the American southwest during the depression.

Answer 2

When there isn't enough grass or other plant material, the wind blows the topsoil away.
