Explanation:

The landforms created by wind are ;

  1. Pediplains - When the high relief structures in deserts are reduced to low featureless plains by the activities of wind, they are called as Pediplains.
  2. Deflation Hollows - Deflation is the removal of loose particles from the ground by the action of wind. When deflation causes a shallow depression by persistent movements of wind, they are called as deflation hollows.
  3. Sand dunes - Dry hot deserts are good places for sand dune formation. According to the shape of a sand dune, there are varieties of sand dune forms like Barchans, Seifs etc. The crescent-shaped dunes are called as Barchans and they are the most common one. Seif is similar to Barchans but has only one wing or point.
  4. Loess - In several large areas of the world, the surface is covered by deposits of wind-transported silt that has settled out from dust storms over many thousands of years. These depositions are called as Loess.
