Aeolian processes refer to the ways in which wind shapes and moves soil and sediment. This includes actions like erosion, transportation, and deposition. Wind can pick up loose particles from the ground, carrying them over long distances. This movement can create features such as dunes and eroded landscapes. These processes are most commonly observed in arid and semi-arid regions, where vegetation is sparse. The impact of wind on the landscape can lead to significant changes over time, affecting ecosystems and human activities. Understanding aeolian processes is important for managing desertification and maintaining soil health.
