explain the main features of major landforms produced by wind deposition
Answers
Answer:
The major deposition landforms are beaches, spits and bars. Deposition occurs when wave velocities slow, or when ocean currents slow due to encountering frictional forces such as the sea bed, other counter currents and vegetation.
Pediments and Pediplains, Playas, Deflation Hollows and Caves and Mushroom, Table and Pedestal Rocks are wind's erosional landforms. Various types of sand dunes like Barchans, Parabolic dunes, Seif, Longitudinal and Transverse dunes are depositional landforms of wind.
Answer:
Extreme fine grained, wind borne deposit of silt and clays;form nearly vertical cliffs. Sand deposit formed in regions of abundant sand and frequent winds. Steepers, downwind side of dune where sand grains fall down from the crest . Polished,faceted stones formed by abrasion by sand particles.
